3 months ago I decided to get back on my old road that my father bought me when I was 16 (I am now 31) After 6 years of sitting in a friends garage I was amazed to find all the bearings where free moving and the tyres even held pressure. So off I went on my first ride since I passed my driving test, 13 miles later I was in agony thinking why did I start this.
3 months later and some perseverance I have lost 17 pounds in weight and just completed a fantastic week, for me, on the bike.
In the last 7 days I have covered 152.3 miles.
Completed my first ride over 50 miles. http://app.strava.com/rides/24774155
Completed my 2nd ride over 50 miles with some decent climbs in. http://app.strava.com/rides/25394621
Had the GPS fall off the handlebars and bounce down the road at 40mph to survive without a scratch.
Spent the best £30.00 I have ever spent on a cheap cree LED light from China and came home buzzing after my first night ride.
For some this is probably just a normal week in the saddle but compared to were I was 3 months ago I am chuffed to bits.
