I enjoyed a lovely 42 mile ride through the Cheshire countryside yesterday.
Just getting back into cycling this year (having reached the ripe old age of 65) and like every newbie had to start small.........10 miles was my 1st target.
I quickly got to 27 miles.....then stalled!!! the weather didn't allow regular rides to build up so each time was like starting again.
Last week I managed a 32 so yesterday went out to do 40....and was pleased to manage it.
TBH I was 5 miles from home and feeling smug as I had something left in the tank......then a car driver waved me out of a junction-I put my foot down-chain came off and I got a bout of cramp .....was then pleased just to get home.
Thumbs up for Malt Loaf & Jelley Beans.
