After last night’s post making my #sweatpledge, I thought I’d better get 
out on a bike today and at least get started. The roads around here are still flooded, so the I dusted off the old MTB to give it a run out. The MTB is a weighty old Halfords special, which has served me well for years. It must be more than twice as heavy as my road bike and on the climb out of the village I started to wonder if I hadn’t chosen the wrong bike.
Five miles in I was soaked up to the knees after cycling through flood, after flood. I stopped for a photo and noticed I wasn’t wearing my helmet on top of my skull cap – idiot.
11 miles with some cycle trails thrown in on the way back, just because I was on the MTB. It’s not much, but it’s a start – just 2,989 miles to go; I’ve got a whole year!
