first ride for ages

the last time i rode i think was May 6. I have my excuses for about 1 month of this time, but the rest was just pure laziness (well sort of). I find i need to make riding a habit, rather than a past-time. If i dont do this i lose my motivation as well as my fitness.

I "forced" myself to go for a nice gentle ride around the river from Burswood to UWA and then went to Brewha for lunch. I have no proof as my heart rate monitor did not work and the camera's batteries were flat so you will just have to take my word for it.

I was averaging about 26km/h and i rode for 1hr getting to the cafe and then 15 mins to get home so i am crediting myself with 30km

When i last rode i had covered 2865km so I am now 2895km towards my, increasingly unattainable, target of 10000km this year. I might just have to reset my target to something like 7500-8000 or just accept "failure" if i dont reach 10000km.

Oh by the way, the weather here today was simply perfect - about 19 degrees and sunny - for a mid Winter day. The forecast is for rain later this week and then clearing up again next week.

see you around on the great bike path of life
