Having decided to get back into serious cycling after an absence of around 15 years, I thought it would be useful to share my experiences, goals, ambitions, lessons learned and maybe even some humour along the way.
Here are the things I intend to do:
- Complete the 2010 London to Brighton charity bike ride
- Complete the 2010 London to Southend charity bike ride
- Improve my fitness level
- Lose a few pounds
- Have fun
- Make some new friends
- Explore the Essex countryside
- Be considerate to other road users
- Share any knowledge gained along the way
- To do all of this on a sensible budget
- To write about it on this blog
Here are the things I try not do:
- Become a bike snob
- Be judgemental of others
- Ride in the rain, at night or when icy
- Get run over and be squished by a 4x4
