Rode into town for today’s London freewheel. Great fun. Embankment and the Mall had been closed to traffic, which made London a pleasure to cycle around. Cycled about 15 miles (24k) including getting into town and back, according to the gmaps pedometer, so feeling good for having managed some exercise this weekend.

London freewheel
21 months ago
Bike bought!
2 years ago
So I finally bought a bike on Sunday. It’s a hybrid, mostly for driving around in town but which can also go off-road. Cycled back to North London from Spitalfields, and was still in one piece by the end of it. Looking forward to riding some more!
10k!
2 years ago
So I completed by second ever 10k today! Hurarh!
I’d barely done any training for the last month, so was quite worried – but managed to do it in about 64 minutes! And I felt like I was running much more consistently than on my first 10k. But my legs really ache…
