A journey begins

I was last on a bike on 1st June and it didn't go well for my back. A few days off work, lots of pain, lots of time at home lying on the floor, almost all of June's loch swims missed and much general grumpiness.

Today I got back on the bike. Not my road bike, but the old hybrid with new road tyres. It was less than 5km and I wasn't breaking any speed records. Which was probably just as well since I didn't think to get my helmet until about a third of the way round. However, I can still stand up straight and I have no pain.

I think that means I'm ready for Millport on Sunday with my lovely cousin and her family. As we say in these parts, BRING IT ON!!!
