Welcome and a bit about me

Hi there. 

Welcome to my new blog. 

Twice this week, I have been asked how I got into cycling, so I thought it was high time to document my cycling journey, not because it's anything special, quite the opposite really. It's just something that everyone can do at any time. And the benefits are amazing. 

Like most people, I used to cycle everywhere when I was a kid. Sunny summer holidays saw me out on my bike from breakfast to tea time. 

But once I passed my driving test, the bike gathered rust not miles. 

That's until a few summers ago. I was struggling to keep my weight down and consequently my health was beginning to suffer. I wanted to find a cheap way of exercising that got me out in the sunshine. I'm no runner ( I cant even run a bath) and though I do enjoy walking, it was not giving me the cardio exercise I was after. 
That's when I remembered cycling. A friend gave me a bike that had been gathering dust in her garage and a new hobby was born.
