Back in the Saddle!!!

Wooowhoooo.....Got back on the Uni this morning after a long break......20 odd attempts to mount from the curb before I had the confidence to stay up and cycle....It took a massive amount of concentration to get the hang of it again, mainly because I was not used to focusing, which is the key as far as I am concerned. However, after the initial problems, within 20 minutes I was away down the small country road I now practice on, and walking back to the house through the little estate, I mounted again and rode to the front of my house!.....I have not lost the buzz of being able to ride my Uni and have made a pact with my self to get on it everyday that the weather and work permits.......my incentive is to do a charity ride sometime in the near future......

Nice little practice


Quick run around the cull-de-sac this morning, balance good and managed a few circuits of the driveway, still working too much to get regular practice but I suppose that is a double edged sword as I would be a sad man without work!

Quick Ride

Just had a quick burn up along the cul-de-sac to keep my hand in, first practice for about 2 weeks........still no joy with the free mount, must try a new method! Anyway, my balance is good at the moment, just need to build up the leg muscles to get some distance runs going.
