First Ride in a Month!


Rob's picture

By Rob - Posted on 08 June 2009

For various reasons I haven't ridden for a month, and in all that time swimming a few laps on one occasion is the only exercise I've put in. Oh dear, oh dear.

Well, it's a nice day so just went for a gentle trundle around the streets I usually commute on and managed 23km, 500-ish vertical in about 75 mins. OMG, what a disgrace! In summer I was doing over 30km and twice the vertical on the commute home in maybe 15 mins more. That said, I was taking it very easy today.

Now all the trails have to do is dry out and can do some real riding Smiling

Must feel great just being on the bike out in the sunshine after all that time off.

I hit the soggy fire road near home for an hour of slow peddlin fun after a week feeling as crook as rookwood, ( Ok i had a man flu....even kept the bike in the car at Sparrow Hill ) and it felt great . Bring on CORC round 3 next weekend ......

How did i get here ?

I guess your solo ride would explain your absence Monday afternoon when you were supposed to meet
me for that social cruise. Hey

Buck knew I wasn't coming to your mythical event, did he show?

I'm approaching 2 months without a ride and I haven't done one bit of exercise. I'm scared to weigh myself as I can feel I have put on heaps.

Monday was my first proper off road ride in 5 months...great to be back but still not fully recovered from my arm fracture last January then & knee pain last April (I thought bugger the knee I could still DO a cruisy TH ride which seemed to have somehow helped healing a bit) Eye-wink

And yes I also saw Christine and quite a few nobs at TH on a mystery twilight ride Evil
