Don't worrie Katie, I am sure that you will get back on your bike and your memory will then become a living dream.

I am just hoping that I keep it up.....by riding to work each week I save near enough a £100 per month, when I see the extra cash in bank I know that it is well worth it!

I'm just starting to ride again after a long break (nearly two years since I last rode with any regularity). Stopped after getting ill with pleurisy and am finding it really hard to get back into it. I plan to be cycling to work regularly by the summer (it's about 20 miles each way). Seems like a distant dream on current performace though

That sounds like a lot of treats to reward yourself with to me

Did you cycle to work again this morning? Glorious weather for it, so hope you were able to!

I cycled to Brighton yesterday - 35 miles, the longest ride I've done in a very long time. It was ok, apart from some nutter taking their wing mirror off on my elbow . I was pleased I wasn't too wrecked when I got there - even had the energy for a wee bit of shopping when I arrived

Oh my gosh....girl your legs must be strong!

Not sure I am quite ready for that kind of journey just yet lol, but good on ya', well done! Can't believe you even had energy to go shopping after....I must try that sort of journey one day I really must. Just wanna see if I can do it.

Yep I cycled to work again this morning.....I woke up late 8am the time I was supposed to be at my desk working. lol, couldn't believe it since working at this job I have never done that.....there's always a first time for everything I suppose.

I purchased a proper bike today a Giant SCR 2 road bike....can't wait for it to arrive, probably in the next couple of weeks. It's gonna take a bit of time for me to get used to mind you.

It's not as bad as you might think, and it's a great feeling when you finish

Cool. Be prepared to find it a bit scary at first - v different from what you have now. I recently got a road bike and am really struggling with going downhill - it scares the c**p out of me
