Just the Joy of It

[PashleyPrincess]

I have suffered a period of prolonged illness recently. Got back on my bike on Monday to kick off my summer commuting and I can't believe how much better I feel already. It's obvious really I suppose but just a couple of weeks back I was struggling to get myself out of bed and put one foot in front of the other and I couldn't imagine back then how much better I'd feel for getting back on my bike.

Despite all the idiots in cars and the headwinds - I've rediscovered the joy of it. So glad

Wind this week has been a real pain - but well done on getting back on your bike. It's surprising how much more energy you have if you do a little exercise regularly!

Good to see you back, Pash!

Glad the endorphins have kicked in; you've got a lot of good months in front of you now, so hope you make the most of it and continue to have fun!

I get this too when I've been off the bike for a while, you get up thinking it's horrible and cold and you'll not enjoy the ride but it ends up being great and you wonder why you had the pessimistic thoughts in the first place!

I love to read posts containing such joy and optimism!
I recently bought a Pashley Guv'nor to add to my collection: such fun

Thanks for all your kind words - you're a lovely bunch :kisses, I knew there was a reason I liked it here. It's good to be back - here and on the bike. Health is up and down but I plan to cycle as much as I can, I'm sure that if I can manage it it'll help.

Where abouts are you? I'm sure there's a CC chapter somewhere nearby!

Welcome back PP. Glad you are feeling better. There really is nothing to boost wellbeing like cycling.
