Wahoo !! First ride !!

[Deb13b]

Wow that was sooo scary and exhilarating ! It's 27 years since I've rode a bike. Got a pashley yesterday and had my first run out this morning. I only did about a mile and a half, chickened out of going on the busy roads in town lol. Legs feel like jelly and my heart is bouncing out my chest but man what a rush.
I feel like a kid again !

Well done!

You'll soon get used to it again

 

[cyberknight]

Fantastic !

 

[Keith Oates]

It must be a great feeling to ride again after a long break, your jelly legs will soon be a passing phase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ramses]

Wait for the saddle sore!

This too will pass quickly enough if you ignore it.

Well done for getting back into cycling, glad you enjoyed your first spin so much!

 

[Cubist]

What a lovely post. Well done you!

 

[DTD]

Well done – and it will get even better

 

[Wardy]

Well done you! Probably a good idea to do it on a "little and often" basis at first until it all gels. Upwards and onwards!

 

[Deb13b]

Little and often is defo what I'll be doing. I'm really out of shape. Lol I can't believe how much I enjoyed it.

 

[corshamjim]

Well done. You made a good choice of bike there too. I love riding my Pashley whether it's commuting in to work or going on longer jaunts at the weekend.

Congratulations Deb, you've caught the bug.

Now then, about that road bike you've been fancying ...

 

[The Jogger]

Excellent, keep at it, you have found something you really enjoy which is more than half the battle for training.

your jelly legs will soon be a passing phase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thst's not what it feels like to me right now sitting here......but then again I did 78 miles today! When I first collected my bike I did a couple of miles and almost died - you'll be flying along doing decent mileage in no time.

 

[chewy]

Nice one :-D

 

[DamoDoublemint]

Keep at it, you will love it.

I would love to have a Pashley, but it's not really suitable for a 9 mile hilly commute. I'll probably get one when I move out of London, as a cruising around the village bike.
