Training - week 1

I have to confess that the first time I pulled my old bike out from under the tarpaulin and looked at the flat tyres and rust, I was tempted to back out of the whole plan.  However, cleaned up and with various child seats removed, it actually looked quite rideable, so I bravely set off for my first ride.  9 miles later and I wasn't at all sure it was a good idea. However, after a shortish ride Sunday morning, Jenny came to Southampton to join me for a longer run, and we managed 12 miles, so pretty proud of ourselves for our first week!
