I layered up because it's England and even though the sun is shining, it's cold. I decided to wear my trainers instead of my bike shoes. I think I'm going to wear them for a few months until I'm more confident on my bike. I am so scared of falling off, getting it by a car, you name it so I think this will help me.
I had to cycle to Mandy's which is around 7 miles. It was pretty flat and the roads were empty so it was a dream. I met Mandy and she reassured me that it wasn't a long ride and there would be 1 short hill around 200m long.
This was a lie. It was very "undulating" -cyclist code for HILLY. I was pretty pleased with my effort overall though. It was sad not being able to keep up with someone on a mountain bike but I should give Mandy credit because she is one badass cyclist!
I rode to my highest elevation to date, 516m so I was pleased! Overall, I am happy I went and proud of myself. I need to seriously step up my game though. That 90k cycle is not going to be my friend....
