Jelly legs. Jelly sweets.

I've been broken the last little while. Marathon training led to some properly mangled leg muscles. Physio one said rest, nobody likes to hear that so a second opinion was sought. Physio two said...... rest! The marathon never got run.

Some of September and all of October was spent in a mire of self pity and biscuits. November sees the start of the steady job of getting back some fitness.

It was gloriously sunny today so I headed out on the bike. I accidentally picked the hilliest route possible. A Haribo stop was needed part way round. Home with another 20 miles in the bank. Jelly sweets had helped, but I got off the bike at the back door with jelly legs. And, a huge grin. A perfect ride.

It was a lovely day for a ride, well done for getting out. I tried to avoid all of the hills, especially as I had no Haribo with me!
Sorry for not recognising you on the roundabout, I really am rubbish at spotting people when I am on a bike.

Well done you!

I can sympathise on the enforced no ride rule...my head's left me off the bike for almost 4 weeks now! Argh!

Make the most of this lovely weather and just enjoy being back out there!
