28/01/2012 – A quick trial with mum and her new bike

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

This ride was a quick go for mum on her new bike (yes another as the one she recently got died a horrible death)

We just went up and down the pathway near her house so she could get used to the gears – this one has 15, she is used to 10)

It’s not much in the way of distance but they all add up 🙂

28/01/2012 – A double trip on the market day shortened round town route

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Went for a quick ride round town, this being shortened as the Broadway is closed on Saturdays for the market, so it’s turn left into Heath Road, mutter obscenities as you climb the hill, then a fast run down hill to Oathall Road, continue bombing down Oathall Road before the never ending climb back to the flats.

But me being me (silly ol’ sod) I then repeated the exercise to get a bit of distance under the belt,

All in all this double run is a bit tougher on the old legs than the usual run, but is @ 3/4 mile further so worth doing again.
