New Streak

I set myself a modest annual target of cycling 2,000 miles in the garage each year to keep me ticking over. By September 19th I’d got to 1,985. So, I was on course to sail past my target. Then pneumonia struck, followed by Covid and I’ve not climbed on the bike since. So, I was in danger of not even hitting the target. But today, I hunted down the cycling gear and, gingerly, set off at an easy pace on the flattest virtual course I could find. And immediately stopped when I hit the target. I’d been on a lengthy weekly streak of nearly a year and that’s been reset but at least I got the 2k up for the year and made a start again.

After that it was refuelling with lots of tea and the brownies Ruby had made while watching Liverpool knock five past the Hammers and go eight points clear.
