I’ve had a lazy couple of years on my bikes. They’ve spent more time in the cycle shop being maintained than with me riding them! A couple of times this year I’ve tried to get back into the habit of cycling regularly, and I use a little loop near my home.
It’s seven miles, and I can easily tell if I’m very unfit – I fail to get all the way up Wimbledon Hill without stopping. Today may have taken 40 minutes, but I did make it all the way without a stop. Hopefully I can get back in to the habit of regular cycling this time. I should be able to get that time down a bit…
