Beat my record :-)

Ok so had a fab evening last night at Langley Park Cricket Club Fancy Dress Party for Deerness Valley football I went dressed as Snow White much to my daughters delight, alcohol flowed and plent of dancing made a very good night.  I got up this morning and the sun was shining......so I decided the hunt was on for the straps to fix the bike rack to the car......success:-) next to fit it.........success :-)........really pleased with my efforts so I decided that a bike ride was definately in order and I got sorted and went off..........I rode down to Broompark picnic area and onto the railway paths towards Esh Winning.I am starting to know that path quite well and I am getting used to the gears and when to change them.




I felt really strong and even though I was dreading the hills I managed them all quite well and felt really good, I rode all the way to Waterhouses at Esh Winning Pinic area and turned round to return home.  I knew I had already beaten my distance record as I have never been up that far on the path so after returning home and looking at my bike computer I was very happy to read 18.2km in 1hr and 30 mins :-) OK it wasnt the fastest ride but I did really enjoy it and for me right now is more about losing the weight and finding the fun in cycling, before I get really into serious training. 


So all is good, my weight is steady at the moment....but to be fair with the amount of parties, weddings and evenings out I am very happy with that....the weight will come off in time and I am happy about that..as my grandad would say "slowly slowly catchie monkey" :-)
