Cycling to Work

We woke up to a beautiful day and I decided to go to work on my bike. It's been two years since I've done that, and was concerned about whether I'd make it, so left in plenty of time. I needn't have worried though and after a couple of 'blip' stops whilst cycling through the marina, I made it to work (almost 8 miles) in an hour.

It was a lovely start to the day and I remembered why I used to do it - it's so peaceful in the morning when there's hardly anyone about and the only sound is the sea lapping the pebbles on the beach.

Of course, it meant I had to cycle home too, which I did in 45 minutes as I didn't stop to take any more photos. Alan works from home on Wednesdays, so he drove down to the Lido where he met me and put my bike in the car as I can't manage the big hill to our house. I really enjoyed it, it's great exercise and it's a free way of travelling to work. I've cycled approximately 12 miles and burnt about 500 calories, so I'll keep it up - depending on the weather of course!

Tonight we've had dinner in the garden and are now sat in the Palace - without Prosecco I should add!
