Puddles get training, there will be another cycletta in the spring at Beaulieu dates to be announced
What is this training you speak of? It has taken me over a year to work up to 10 miles lol, mind you I kid myself with the thought that should I rid myself of Maggot, trailer & miscellaneous shopping/rubbish I probably could go faster and for longer distances.
I just noticed on my face ache that the School Run Cycling Mums did it today too, notice they didn't ask me oh I wonder why
.
The other day I did have a smug grin to myself when another Mum who does the pre-school to school dash and has one of those all expensive bikes and rapha gear asked me how I dared to go down the big hill to school so fast as I passed her at warp speed
(she did the New Forest thing today)
I thought that is what downhills are for, putting it in highest gear and getting a whizz up, plus it helps that I have trailer encouragement as User76 shouts "faster faster"
Bertha might cause a stir at those things and would probably throw a fit I think of her as the female version of "Marchant" in the Rankin books she has very anthropomorphic qualities.
