Sunday Ride

Having more or less given up on my pedals, I went for the Sunday ride.  I kept my pedals on the bike but wore my trainers, difficult at times but I managed ok.  First problem, yes I always manage to have one, my tyres were not pumped up hard enough.  I need to get a proper stand up pump.  I wore my new cycle shorts as its lovely and sunny, they have a chamois padding to protect you and remove the sweat - by the time I got back my pussy was extremely sore so I am not happy with them at all.

We did the same ride as last time, to Tatton Park in Knutsford and back.  My left leg was really aching with pins and needles, so on the way back it really slowed me down.  I nearly got hit by a car which suddenly pulled out in front of me, I screamed and swerved and thankfully he stopped - no apology though.  Boy was my heart beating!  On the outward leg I was at the front for quite a while and I managed to maintain a steady 19 mph, on the flat of course.  The hills are so hard, I found this harder than I did last time.  So, its off to Halfords now for a pump, its never ending spending - lol.
