PS the little one wants to know if you can pull her up that hill on her trailer bike as her dad hasn't rule 5'd yet. She promises to peddle as hard as she can ;)

You should be able to upload the file by pressing upload file and selecting the image? If that's not working it may not be in an acceptable format, in which case uploading it to Flickr or a similar site and then linking to it here would suffice

I love those 'rules'. I assume there is an element of self-parody (tan lines, what socks to wear with team kit etc), but there is a lot of truth in there too. Many times, when I'm tired or the hill is too steep, I say rule 5 to myself (or just say 'remember rule 5, Rich') and it gets me through. Sometimes there is a big gap between what you can actually do (a lot) and what you think you can do (not much), and rule 5 gets you from one to the other.

I did the hill...omg u have no idea how that felt! I have never been so determined in my life to do something (apart from to get the babies out when I was pregnant (sh*t that hurt). I did stop at the top of the steep bit to take in water and do a selfie but pushed not at all!

No one passed me (only cos no one was about to overtake me.....) to see me grinning like a Cheshire cat and gasping for air so yes..............another first.

One thing I noticed. The other banks are now just inclines...ones I really struggled with to start with. So stats to date:

Bum - never hurts anymore
Ladybits - no comment
Miles cycled to date - 216
Hubby - actually complimented me today on my achievement
State of mind - hills? PAH......
New average speed (please don't laugh) - 9.4 mph
Fastest commute - 56 minute

Yes! Bring it on........

Yay!! Excellent days work :bicycle:

I use photobucket to upload my images. Upload it to there and copy and paste the image code straight into your post :becool:

So what did you celebrate with? I'm having a bad day today so I'd have probably gone with a couple of pints and a bloody big helping of chips and pie, but I bet you were far better behaved! :smile:

I don't use flick etc...grrrrrrr
You didn't wanna see it anyway.
Yes we did :smile:

I have a photobucket account, purely for uploading images to forums. Quite useful.
