Ok... So I treated myself to a new bike ! But hey I have just had OHS and I'm doing loads of cycling every day and my old bike was sort of old. Do I need anymore reasons to treat myself ?
Just tought I'd share this picture I took this evening on my mobile phone propped up against a clump of grass out on the cliff path.
I'm really pleased with the bike and have convinced myself it's loads better, lighter and faster than the old one (though in reality you'd probably not notice the difference!).
I'm planning to cycle from the north to south coast of France this year for myself and for the British heart foundation and for everyone else who's had or about to have a heart valve replaced too.
I recon it's about 1000 miles, so lots of peddling. I'm trying to do 8-10 miles a day to build up my stamina.
Here's the thing, do I cycle from here to the south of France then have to fly home at the end, or do I cycle from south cost (Cannes) back home ?
I think I might need a more comfy saddle too !
