So a few weeks ago Steve and I got back on the bikes and started doing a practice route each weekend which follows part of NCN route 4 along the river Thames. It works out at about 34miles which is a reasonable practice circuit. The first ride was hard work but we soon got back into the swing of things and the second time we went out we deliberately pushed harder to see what sort of time we could do. We completed the route in about 4 hours but by the end of it we were exhausted and trying to walk upstairs when we got home was a real challenge.
For a while now I had been remembering enjoying cycling but my heart wasnt really into it. However once I got back in the saddle and we were cruising along the river bank in lovely weather, rowers passing by and the dappled shade from trees as we ate a sandwich at a break point it all came back to me. I'm now really looking forward to the next trek.
