Now spring has finally sprung I’ve started how I mean to go on and rode my bike to work this morning. It’s a fair trek from Otley to Harrogate, especially if, like me you’ve not been riding your bike for some time, but hey ho!
Things I learnt riding my bike to work:
- 06:30 am is too early to get up to ride my bike but most definitely worthwhile
- I wore my Mixd “Lean, Green, Creative Machine” high visability jacket with pride
- Some car drivers appear to like being close to me
- I’ve saved ££££££ on fuel and am doing my bit for the environment
- I’m also doing something good for me
- I feel like I’ve really earnt a double chocolate biscuit with my coffee this morning
- I’m sure the ride home will take at least 10 minutes longer
- I’m looking forward to doing it again
Managed to get my second run down to 40 minutes from Harrogate back to Otley today. Not bad if I don’t say so myself!
