…the ride back from #TheCommute didn't get much better to be honest. The tap back was fine untill #Otley, at which point we had Leeds Road to take on.It's fair to say we didn't really take it on however. We let it beat us but there was little else we could do other than pop it in the little ring at the front, granny ring and the back and crawl up it.It's faor to say it almost cracked me, but thankfully I wasn't the only one who was struggling… My 2 partners in crime were not nearly as bad as me, but I think their time off the bike recently also made it a challenge for them, so they stayed by my side and we rode it all together from start to finish… I can't wait to get back out… Maybe even ride my mountain bike which has been much neglected since it's purchase back in October :(

Previous It was a tough day today tapping out on the bike to #Ilkley… It's always difficult and a bit of a shock jumping on the bike after a long time off. But it's fair to say that after my scary hospital admission over xmas I've never felt worse on the bike than I did jumping back on today.Popping on the lycra this morning gave me a real scare as my bib tights hung off my legs as if they were hung out to dry. I used to have calf muscles and thighs but not any more… At the same time as feeling dreadful, I had a euphoria sort of moment out on the bike. Finally feeling well enough to ride again – even if it was at a record low pace – it felt wonderful. I've missed it so much and it felt too good to be back !We stopped off at #TheCommute where #TheWizzard #ChrisHope was working on the bikes, the coffee was flowing and the tomato soup and homemade sausage roll hit the spot. We then set off back home after a much needed break after only about a half hours riding..
