Today was my first day out on a bike in ages! Me being me decided to try a 200m climb for starting out. About an hour in, taking a stop to admire the scenery (aka a breather), I met these three lovely ladies out on a girls’ day joyride. Each year they take a day, get in the car and go out on a spontaneous drive – what a great tradition?

After a nice chat and a few laughs I continued up the hill. With a bruised bum from the bumpy, dirt road and a bit of sweat I was as uphill as I could go.

There wasn’t much of a view from the top, but riding through a cloud down the hill was good fun. So that concluded my first proper bike ride in quite a while – get ready for heaps more!
