Not a walk but a cycle

โ€ข14 Replies

I've had pain in my knee for a while and thought I'd go for a cycle instead of a power walk. I didn't plan my exact route but ended up cycling 20 miles. I was a bit saddle sore though as it's a new bike๐Ÿ˜‚

You are very fit Alicia. Hope you not overdoing it.... ๐Ÿ˜Š

in reply to Snowdrops_17

Let's just say sheer bloody determination. I've had gut issues for so long now so when I feel good I go for it. Keeping myself young๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks for your Inspiration Alicia, I really need to exercise much more and love bike riding. Just don't like wearing a bike helmet....

Is that law now?

in reply to Snowdrops_17

I love my bike it's a new one, a Trek hybrid. I always wear a helmet and hardly feel it on my head.

I came off my bike a few years ago and crashed my head into a wall, my helmet saved me, the helmet split in two. It's not law yet to wear one but I'd never go without one purely for safety.

Thank you Ali, yes I'll listen to my body. I was poorly night before last but good when I woke up this morning so making the most of it๐Ÿ˜€

Sorry you were poorly, it can catch up on you without much warning

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Hmm, maybe๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚, sorry Debs, I was replying to Ali earlier.

Yes it certainly does. I would warn people about pre cooked rice i.e. never buy any dishes with rice that need reheating. I bought a lunch pot in November and have struggled with upset tummies ever since! I won't go anywhere near rice now.

Hi Alicia, your new bike sounds great as hybrid bikes are really good and perfect for cycle paths.

You appreciate feeling well as I do and that is a gift and whoosh way above most peoples heads...

So you enjoy your new bike and I admire your perseverance. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi Jerry

Thank you and I basically have up for many months and decided enough was enough. Exercise isn't only healthy for yiur body but for your mind as well - bonus๐Ÿ˜€

Aw Alicia, I bet you were saddle sore. I hope you can sit down today! I saw you said youโ€™re keeping yourself young. You must be 21 again by now. ๐Ÿ˜Joking aside, well done and I hope you can sort your knee out soon x

I was for a while but much better once I'd had a wonderful shower. Back on the bike again today and cycled from the sea where I live to the edge of the moors, did about 30 miles.

A busy weekend with grandchildren coming up so won't have chance to cycle then.
