Saturday
morning we woke up to beautiful bright sunshine and the promise of a bike
ride. This is a big deal for me as
although I have been out on my bike a tiny bit this year my hubby has not been
out. So the idea of going together
warmed my heart. I can not explain how happy this made me.
We got our
bikes checked and prepared. I made eat
of us jam sandwiches each (mine gluten free), packed an energy gel and a nakd
bar each. We got changed and ready for
action. The first part of the ride was a
slow long uphill section that was hard and my legs were still aching from
Friday’s trail run. We turned off and
cycled a lovely downhill section before evening out. As we were approaching our first pit stop my
front tyre blow. I was proud of myself
for not panicking at all. We changed my
inner type (ok I watched!!) and then headed on our way.
We did stop
for are sarnies and here is a horrible picture of me eating sarnie.
What is going on with my hair and where is my smile!! I was having fun honest. |
After that
pit stop we did two big climbs before an epic downhill that I think I might
have screamed all the way down!! I wish
I had more pics but my hubby had my camera.
We got home
showered and I potted in the garden before I made our treat meal. Actually I totally cheated and bought a
Spanish chicken and potato dish from Marks and Spencer’s. It was gorgeous but very high in points.
We enjoyed
that while we watched the highlights of
the Tour De France and Froome win his first stage and get the yellow jersey.
