Well I did it - yes I got my bike out and went for my first bike ride of the year! Not bad considering my new years resolution was to take up cycling again an try to get fitter!
My son and I got our bikes out and set off to visit a relative who lives not too far away but far enough I decided! Upon getting my bike out I remembered the front tyre needed pumping up and so duly went to reinflate it - only I couldnt figure out how to attach the adapter to the pump (attached it to the tyre no problem!) so I sent a text to a friend who offered have a look at it for me!Sometimes I really live up to my blondeness!
Anyway once this was done and I was out of sight of prying eyes I got on and off we went! I never thought I would say this but going slower is actually harder than going faster!. My little boy had to peddle so fast to keep up even though i was hardly moving, even so I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it and have definetly got the motivation now to keep going!
The last couple of days have been so so here, I put in the claim for benefits which they now do over the phone!? Gave them all of my information to be told that they deal with all benefits from one central point now so that I wont have to call everybody as I had envisaged. How effective this turns out to be time will tell....
As I say theres not a lot to tell at the moment but I didnt want to not put anything either!? Hopefully once I get used to this blogging I will work out a healthy balance between not posting and posting - until then you will just have to put up with my dribble - sorry!
