Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 6:34 pm
Thank you to all those who have helped me with this bike and all the parts.
I am truely in your debt.
As promised here are a few pics of her in action now im able to get out.
My first trip was to complete the route i was on when the original piece of **** that started all this broke on me.
From home its only a 4 mile trip to Tywell Hills and Dales. I had never been before so when i got there i had a little ride around the place to explore, not much there for a bike to do and was really overgrown in places......i got stung....a lot.
Should have worn shoes and not sandles.....
The only pic i got on this trip.

Total mileage was 9.92 mile, not bad as i have not been on a bike for about 15yrs!!!!
Today i wanted to try something a little more adventurous.
A ride to a country park with a little lap around the outskirts and then home again.
It was quite a hilly route and really got my fat sweating and pulse racing.
I passed a few roadies on route and all tipped there Helmet to me and said hello, Friendly bunch you biker are.
Arrived with a good sweat on and panting like a randy dog so i stopped for a 20min break and had a sarnie.
Took a look at the routes available but once on them they are badly overgrown with stingers and after the experience of last time o opted to avoid them at all costs.
After a 1.5 mile route around the woods i headed home.........those hills are a killer after all that riding.
Before i left.

On route there is a homage to the TDF........

Arriving at the park.

The route and map.


Total for the day was 20.2 miles.......not bad for a very unfit fat guy.
