One year today since I restarted cycling :D . Been quite a journey in many ways since then.
Started on a Trek FX hybrid and now riding a road bike.
A total of 127 rides covering 1872miles.
I'm a lot fitter than I was and I've lost a bit of weight.
Here's looking forward to year 2 :)
Not been out on the bike for a week due to weather and working away, but I had a couple of hours on track at the velodrome today - it was only an intro session with some guys from work but first time on a track, banking, and on a fixed gear track bike. It was really fun, if a little daunting to get up onto the banking. Weather permitting I hope to get a couple of runs into work this week

At the top of Iveston Bank. Jamie ended up having to walk up as the screws holding the cage into his pedal had gone! Hence the stop for repairs.
Haha, I spent today hardly able to move due to muscle ache and a bit of sunburn! Quite enjoyed the ride but need to do more of that distance and work on the hills... I now have a shiny multi tool that should work when I need it to as well! :s
The scone stop was a highlight though I have to say ;)
Thought you would like it, we often drive up there just for the scones ;)Quote:

I think I should quit using mapmyrun because I get a little obsessed about how much and how fast I run. I only want to lose some weight and enjoy my runs.
Well despite my best intentions I went out for a cycle last night and found the going much easier, even up a few long hills - went down to first gear but I kept going and whereas even last week I would've got off and pushed, I made it all the way :bounce:
Then I've cycled into work this morning so just need to hope the rain stays away :s
Did manage another 8km yesterday for a total of 64kms :mark: . That of course does not include the cycling that I’m trying to squeeze in between runs, and the hill-training I’m doing about once a week (where I don’t bother tracking distance or time).Quote:
