Just a ride!

Tonight the plan was to do an 1 hour 15 minutes cycle.

After getting in from work, I had a quick coffee before deciding to get out on my bike - it was starting to look cloudy and I didn't want to risk being caught in rain by waiting too long!

I had a route in mind, but it was a very frustrating start!  The traffic going through town was slow and I seemed to hit a red light at every traffic light!  Things didn't improve when I hit the country roads - potholes, tractors, elderly drivers and idiot tourists (more interested in the scenery than the roads!) all seemed to be out to get me!

I felt I was risking life and limb just being out on the road on 2 wheels!  Thankfully the rain stayed away and the sun actually tried to shine although it was still fairly chilly!

As I approached home I realised I was 10 minutes down on the time I was supposed to do but I decided not to push my luck by extending it!  I was feeling lucky to have escaped injury free!

Hopefully, I will feel slightly more comfortable and confident next time and I can make up the extra 10 minutes!

I only managed a very slow 12.78 miles but it's better than nothing!

Amazingly after 2 swims, 2 runs and 2 cycles so far this week my body doesn't feel too bad!

Still feeling positive!

Bring it on!
