Day 42 – Week 6 – 6 mins

I have just got back from a bike ride along the river, which was interrupted by a few hours in our local riverside pub.

What you need to keep in mind is that it is very, very, many years since I have ridden a bicycle, which therefore involved using muscles that I believe have lain dormant for all of that time.

This is evident by the fact that after a one hour bike ride, then a long, lazy stop off at said gorgeous little pub where we met up with some friends, I was physically incapable of sitting back on the bike for the final little spurt home. There are obviously muscles in your buttocks that have no other purpose in life other than to sit you down on a bicycle – why else would they protest so loudly when suddenly forced into use! It’s going to be interesting to see how I feel in the morning.

The bike ride was in addition to the five mins arm warm up and one minute stretching this morning, so am well pleased with my level of activity for the day. Now, if only I could have a day off on the ‘morrow……..
