Phew at last, back on my bike!

[Rab]

Due to too much work, having to vacate my house for 7 weeks (due to useless builders) and my two road bikes being broken, I had not cycled a bike for 3 1/2 months......up until yesterday.

This is quite shocking considering that I have been commuting by bike for the last 6 years and doing a considerable amount of training for various sportives

I was a bit worried about it and it had almost become a problem to me. Anyway did my usual 19 mile loop yesterday and it was pretty good, took my time, but felt fairly good. took me an extra 10 - 12 minutes more than usual (when I am fit)

I am now feeling quite chuffed and feel I have my cycling mojo back

Maybe even start commuting again

Jolly well done old boy.

I have to admit, it was pretty chilly, but was well wrapped up

Cracking day, it has given me a real buzz.

Well done in getting past that 'Its freezing out there' moment.

That string vest you're wearing in your photo will help trap air under your outer layer of dirty brown jacket...
