My first 'proper' bike ride in Lord knows how long!! It was getting dark so I didn't have long, so I picked an easy route along the river - somewhere I knew from walking the dog. I knew it'd be muddy but at least it'd be flat. I'd forgotten HOW muddy and how many streams the path traverses!! That's where my lack of fitness shows - 15 years ago I'd have ridden through them, tonight I had to get off :(
THEN, I start running out of daylight! Which leads to me getting lost in the woods! Which results in the decision to cross the river where it looks flat and shallow - WRONG!! Now with very wet feet I start back along the tarmac bike path. I'm not too knackered so I choose a wide road loop back, which involves a hill. Did I say I wasn't too knackered?!
Moral of this is I got to sort some lights. Probably do another ride tomorrow, though :)
