Up the Pike

....far better than being up the duff!!

I have wanted to go up Rivington Pike for a couple of weeks and test the new knee, today was the day. Actually, the going up wasn’t my biggest worry, it was the coming down.

I picked Pat up just before 9am and we zoomed over to Horwich. There was a big triathlon event on and so there was a steady trickle of runners going up and down. Even at that time in the morning it was hot so I really felt for them as they climbed.

It is usually blowing a hooley at the top, but it wasn’t too bad today. We sat there for a while and enjoyed the view. The walk down was fine and I was very happy with the bionic knee. I think I will try to go more often and get fitter.

I think I’ll sleep well tonight.
