AM I PLEASED WITH MYSELF OR WHAT?..LOL

5 Miles...easy peasy hehehe...really have enjoyed my ride this morning got back with a silly grin, a glow, a twinkle in my eye and feeling dead chuffed with myself....and only my 2nd cycle ride in at least 4 years too 
Full panniers too...and l resisted the doughnuts and bought strawberries for lunch, a couple of magazines to browse and Dunelm had the other two fleece blankets l need to finish the sofa covers and l picked up a metre of the non slip matting for one of the rugs...need measurements for the others now l know the width it comes in
so settling down for the afternoon with a house programme on TV and a good read
 and l don't feel guilty or lacking in energy...proud of myself today...lol
Just need to keep it up!
Oh! and the crochet seat cover works...it was a lot softer on the old bum than yesterday's ride


I can't wait for tomorrow and the next outing...Cycle routes seem to be every where here
Thanks for the good wishes on my new hobby

Hugs to all x

  2. Well now you have impressed me!!!! What a fab way to exercise. Max rides her bike to work and hardly touches a road - its cycle route all the way- so you will find lots of fab outings to go on!!

  5. Go Suz! That`s one heck of a mean machine mountain bike you have there!You look FABULOUS with or without your exercise and I absolutely LOVE your hair. Wish I was brave enough to get rid of the haystack on top of my head (the `dragged-through-a-hedge backwards` look is so ageing!lol).It`s been so easy to get stuck in a woolly rut with the winter we`ve just had and the summer we`re having isn`t really helping!Have a great weekend, Suz. Love visiting your cheery,colourful little place.

    Well done you!! You are an inspiration - you have so much energy :) Can I ask where you found the non-slip meterage? I'm in Oz, and have not had much luck finding something like that here.
