I used to go crazy tearing down hills and things like that, a couple of nasty falls few years ago put a stop to all that but I'm happy to be out riding again...may have to trade in the mountain bike for a road bike as I'm only doing roads and paths from now on 🀣

That'll set you back even more than the running shoes πŸ’ΈπŸš²πŸ˜‚

Nice!! Great pic. I love cycling but not keen to do it these days on busy streets etc (I'm in London). I am envious of you cycling that route, looks lovely. It's a non-run day for me today - actually woke up WANTING to run but held back, what has happened to me??? I'm planning a 5km walk at lunchtime.

Yeah I wanted to run too, chose this option! We have amazing places on our doorstep in Middlesbrough and some really beautiful places within a 10-15 minute drive or half hour ride.

Ah the Boro! My first serious bf many years ago was from Middlesbrough. Spent a bit of time there visiting, good memories.

Haha really! Small world. Do we know him? 🀣

It's improving as a town and not as bad as people make out 🀣

Your photos are always a great advert for our area, particularly around Middlesbrough considering the bad press it β€˜always’ receives it needs it. I’ve a bike in my shed and I’ve never ridden it, maybe I should.

We do get a lot of bad press, sometimes deservedly but mostly not. We have some amazing areas for walking and riding close to us and there well worth visiting. Give the bike a blast if you have one sitting there, good exercise especially on non running days πŸ‘πŸ» quick and easy too if ya only have a limited time.

Aye well that’s me, a limited time should be put on my gravestone, that and β€œwhen I get a-round-tuit”!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Great photo.πŸ˜„

Cycling is a great rest day activity- very good for maintaining knee strength. πŸ˜„

Yeah I need to keep my knee strength up! Should help build the running pace and distance up 🀞🏻

Looks amazing- you can be Team Gazelle’s social/ fitness planner and we’ll follow your lead. My non run days are usually come home from work and catch up on Bake off and 90 day fiancΓ©! Might give it a try at the weekend!
