Ok, so its been a while since I have posted. I doesnt mean the journey isnt continuing or that I have given up......my life is just so packed out with things to do that I forget to blog it!

Start of the ride,
I am at the bottom right of the photo! |
During the summer holidays I got the chance to go out with hubby on the bikes as the children went to stay at nannas house. That was after he bought a new bike, a better bike than me I must add and it weighs nothing compared to mine! We went out on a couple of small rides approx 5 miles and approx 15 miles...........not too shabby, then we decided to enter Durham big ride on the 4th September. I really should have planned this a bit better.........it was uphill, uphill and more uphill..... in hindsight maybe its a good job I didnt look otherwise I would maybe have been put off!! But all I want to say is after a tough uphill ride, with short sharp downhill sections before more gruelling uphill sections.............I did it, I might have taken my time, I might have been a bit slow but I managed to get my first cycling medal and I am proud.............it was only 25 miles but it was the toughest 25 miles I think I have done so far!
