From small acorns....

[ScotiaLass]

After a 6 year absence from cycling, today I got back into the saddle! It was only to test out the new tyres and adjust the seat height/angle but I got on a bike!

I cycled to the bottom of our road, circled a few times and came back up the small hill (we live at the top).
My husband was there and made a few adjustments to my bike, then I did the same again, circling the supermarket car park a few times (the bottom car park lays empty all year round).

It felt very strange being back on the bike and I did feel a bit wobbly! I forgot where my gears were (and how to use them!) BUT, I did it!

Hopefully this is the first of many steps towards my goal of losing weight/getting fit and enjoying the ride as I do

Felt exhilarating!! I wanted to go further but I know my limits....

Keep it up, and remember - many a mickle maks a muckle!

Thanks to hubby replacing the battery in my sensor, I will now be able to see how far I go.....likely to be measured in yards rather than miles but I'll build up to it!

Yay well done you!! I felt wobbly when I first got back on after 11 years off! Keep at little and often!

 

[Puddles]

Well done!

Thanks all.
It seems like such a small step but it really is a huge one for me and I'm really chuffed
