Training is progressing really well. Once I get out and get warmed up, I just want to keep going. At the moment my warm up is walking up Bridge Hill out of Badby, but my goal is to be able to cycle up it!
We have just 10 weeks to go before we depart at the ungodly hour of 07:00. I’ve been clocking up regular miles each week, trying different routes to keep the interest up. I’ve only had one fall in the last couple of weeks (well two really). They weren't serious ones though. I came to a standstill on a hill coming out of Weedon. It was a little steeper than I anticipated, and unfortunately I’d run out of gears on my bike. I thought about getting off and walking up but as I changed my mind and decided to stay on, oops, I fell over! Nice graze on my knees. I haven’t done that since I was a little kid! Then as I pulled up outside home I unclipped my foot, bumped up the grass verge and fell over!! There were a load of little kids whizzing up & down the path on their bikes and they all looked at me gone out!! I jumped up put my hands on my hips and said, in the manner of the ’Green Cross Code Man’ (remember him?) ‘STOP! Now that was a demonstration of how NOT to get off your bike!!!’ Don’t think they bought it somehow?......................
