Richard and i took to the roads yesterday...our first training weekend is complete. On Saturday we did i nice wee loop in the black isle 16.5miles and on Sunday a run along the beach then a cycle from Avoch to Ardendrain 21.5 miles............not a bad start for a novice. The wind was wild and pretty chilly but after half way it eased up. No aches or pains so thats a good sign, all those relentless hours in the gym and fanatical spinning classes are coming in handy. There was just one big hill before mum and dads that almost beat me (did i really fall off at the top or did i imagine that ?!?!?!) anyway, the thought of haggis, neeps and tatties kept me going. Looking forward to next weekend already.... all i can think about is routes .... routes with hills, routes with busy roads, routes with quiet roads, 20, miles , 30 miles, 40 miles ................ i can see i'm going to turn into a cycling bore over the next six months .............
