#TalesFromTheBikeRide Discovered a pretty new section to ride along today. Was stupid hot and humid but with the things I've (re)learnt since restarting cycling, I was able to manage it. Tired but #NoBonking. Let's goooo. Another 10K in the bag :D

#TalesFromTheBikeRide Replaced my bike pedals with new nylon flats with anti slip nails. They are so much better than the previous pedals which were this cheap folding pair. Happy to get back on the bike today, would have continued but sadly heavy rain rolled in. With all the things I've relearnt / learned about prepping it's making my rides better and more comfortable. I've already blown right past couple the distance I did when I first restarted. Can't wait for more! #cycling

#TalesFromTheBikeRide Planned today's ride before I headed out, complete with rest stops. Only managed half the route since the rest was restricted access. #oops Stopped another quarter of the way forward to help a family get a photo all together. Felt good to help them out. Went to get back on my bike and my right pedal broke. #doh !! But to be fair it's a cheap pair and I've been meaning to replace it. Guess this is the universes' way of saying "DO IT!". Ordered replacements. #Upgrade

#TalesFromTheBikeRide Went out for a ride today and I'm proud of myself for slowly increasing the distance that I'm riding without a break. It's been a while since I've ridden so being able to get back on the bike and ensuring that I set aside time for those rides has been so helpful for my #mentalhealth. Still learning how to prep properly again for each ride but every time I head out I do a better job. Let's go! #cycling 🚴
