After the successes of mountain climbing at the weekend I’m back into cycling to work. And it feels great. Going slowly and steadily at the moment but hopefully we’ll be out on training runs again soon.
Funny how this has become so important to me. I feel I have some of my identity back now I can cycle again. And with the new school term starting driving has been a nightmare – I’d much rather be speeding along on my bike than sat in traffic!
I have a new day-glo waterproof jacket too. This is great for visibility and is, in my opinion, a fairly sporty-looking thing (rather than the nerdy day-glo work jackets you can get). I found a down side today though when I went to put the recycling out before heading off to work. The next door neighbour thought I was the bin man!!! Still – gave Sally a laugh.
