You guys are really helpful!

The area where I live in Scotland is really quite hilly, so I felt intimidated by that. There are very few flat straights. But already I'm getting to know how to use my gears and take my speed into the hill and I even feel like I've made improvements from yesterday - at least in confidence!

Today I managed 3.13 miles in the one go

And you're right, the most important thing is definitely to have fun! I think I'm addicted already I even appear to be working up a little suntan!
