I managed to get out on my bike today for the first time since the 2nd of January.
A 15 mile part road, part track trip, but how unfit I felt afterwards. I had been going out about 3 times a week covering around 25 miles each outing, and was looking at extending that to 32 miles or so before the bad weather and a dose of cold followed by a bad case of gout.
My main reason for cycling is to lose weight, and having last summer being diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, felt the time was right to do some form of exercise, and cycling being a thing I have always had an interest in, felt the natural thing to do.
Todays trip was hard, but has given me the enthusiasm to get back to a better form of fitness.
But hell, it was great fun, I'll be back, and soon, very soon, hope it stays dry tomorrow morning.
