Lol. Good feeling eh! If I don't get a grip I will be throwing out the small stuff.
Managed 26 miles this morning followed by a 4 mile dog walk though so hopefully the scales might start going the other way soon.

See the surgeon at Ninewells Hospital this afternoon for a checkup on the collar bone. Hoping it shows some healing on the xray this time as there didn't look like much on the last one.

And your wallet!!
Did usual trip to Chertsey by car thinking weather would be too bad, probably could have cycled it but did some (food shopping) then called at Cycle Surgery and bought packable waterproof for the Sunday's Sportive

Not going out on the bike again until Saturday - going to give myself a chance to relax my body as I haven't really done so since I started!

I like that. Not many people can fit into clothes from 25 years ago so you must be doing something right!

Cheers Mo It's a bit aerofit, but I could go out on it if it wasn't raining.

Hi,
I stated cycling again a couple of months ago, and am trying to increase my distance and fitness.
Had an early start this morning, and managed my longest ride so far - 76km. Slightly stiff legs, but pleased with the ride - especially as I managed to get back home just as the first drops of rain began to fall.
Stopped off for a coffee at the RSPB reserve at Fairburn Ings on the way round. £1.70 for a machine made coffee. However, it was freshly ground, a decent size cup, and helping a good cause.

Oh god - you lot depress me at times.

All so motivated and eager.

Just got in after a long day outside in the cold (wussy, wussy) with every intention of 'getting out' and......slapped heating on, made two cuppas and a slice of toast and I just can't be *rsed!

I wish I was more like all you much more commited 'bring it on' Newbies!

If it's any consolation, I am having to push myself really hard to get out and not convinced I am enjoying it all that much, but at nearly a stone heavier than my fighting weight something must be done, although the surgeon did say I was quite thin so can't look too bad yet.......or maybe it's just my collar bones that are thin. Lol.

X-ray looked better this time. Under strict instructions not to fall off the bike or weight bear or lift too much yet as, although it looks ok, it won't be really strong for several months yet. Another follow up in 3 months time and I would imagine that will hopefully be me finished with appointments.
