A little bit of the reason for writing this blog is I'm interested in being able to look back at what I was like when I started compared with the shockingly fit person I am clearly about to become.
So, I hereby record my first ride.
5 miles long, average 11.3 miles per hour (Good job I bought that wireless speedo thing!)
During this ride there are two hills (I hope I later come to think of them as small). Hills around where I live are steep - I know that because there are signs that say so.
It is though a worry that my lungs burst during these two short, sharp hills. A modicum of doubt has settled in my mind. Not helped by having got back from the ride and read some of the forums around the Norwich 100 which refer to it as not being that flat, having a big headwind and there being something called Telegraph Hill.
But, I was cycling at 7:00am this morning and have that wonderful vurtuous feeling of having exercised right at the start of the weekend.
Got a 10 mile ride planned for tomorrow - starting gently!
