Waiting for OH to get back from Reading with the little ones at the school so we can go out for a ride again together.
Her blood pressure was taken yesterday and for the first time in years it was a "normal" reading, it's always been very high since our littlest was born at 25 weeks (yes 25!) after pre eclampsia and then full eclampsia inc a death defying fit (long story). We've decided that losing the alcohol and cycling has helped a lot (and if you disagree keep it to yourself
).
We were doing well until she fell off and hurt herself test riding a T3 in the Coventry Decathlon store this summer, so hopefully today will kickstart it off again.
Hopefully the blog will be revisited and updated soon.

On a roll here today as it was still sunny
Like a coiled spring I shot out for a ride on my own.
Well it is still sunny here.

Anyway, a very pleasant 36 miles was ridden today but needless to say the white bike is no longer white so the bucket & sponge will be out again tomorrow!!

I am really a very poor cleaner of bike, I did get some 'Muck Off" solution to help, and I think chain needs a clean and re-lube.Sorry @SpokeyDokey I wont say what a lovely autumn day it was down here then!

Was supposed to be windy this morning but it isn't much more than a strong breeze. Anyway, decided to give it a miss and just take the dog. Did a mix of walking and jogging so still got a good workout. My hands even got nicely warm even without gloves on which is unusual for me. I used to enjoy running in my late thirties and it is much tougher now but wouldn't mind getting back into it. I have enough trainers, tracksters, t-shirts, etc to last me for years so it would be a much cheaper sport. Want to cycle too though so not sure what sort of mixture would be best. I don't find they particularly complement each other.
