Instrument Of Torture

Our rashness from yesterday was the purchase of bicycles.

For the purpose of getting fit.

I planned a starting route and we set out this morning all vim and vigour.

It was cracking fun and a lot of hard work.

The first half of the ride was pretty much all uphill and when you've not been on a bike in over 27 years, you're going to hear your muscles complaining a lot. Mine certainly did.

It might only have been a 12km round trip but I see plenty of scope for improvement in how I ride my bike. Practise and a bit more practise.

I'm currently sitting on a great big, soft cushion and I can tell you without blushing that my bum hurts. A lot.
