October 1 Rides

[Trekhawk]

Ok, well i finally did it ... we cycled from one end of our city (canberra) to the other

Today we left home at 8am and cycled 35kms (that's a lot for me ) to tuggeranong for coffee... yes coffee. That's why we cycle .. coffee... well i dont drink coffee, so for me it's hot chocolate.

We went up hill and down dale, and after coffee we came back 35km up many many big hills.

Lots of firsts for me today. First time to tuggeranong on a bike, first time up the Scrivener dam hill, first time up the bindubi street hill I realise these mean nothing to most of you, but i know you'll be thrilled for me anyway.

I am so proud of myself i could cry I cant believe i cycled 70kms in one day. We got home at 3pm and i was literally dying. My arms ache, my feet ache, my legs ache but I am so proud of myself for doing it

Thanks to all you girls who post. Your encouragement makes it possible for me to push myself further and further.

DH has gone out to buy dinner cos i literally dont have the energy to do anything but sit and watch tv now. Oh, and nurse some sunburn Guess we'll finally getting summer downunder. Yes i did wear sunscreen, but obviously not enough

4 hours, 48 mins actual riding time, i'm red, i'm sore and i'm a bit sorry for myself, but most of all i'm incredibly proud that i did it

Congratulations Theav.
You will be able to show me all these hills when I get to Canberra.
My friends keep telling me I will love hills one day.

Rest up and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment.
