Day two...

Well thank you H and Tami for those comments - I feel I need a label to hang on my back - 'Does my bum look big on this bike?' Perhaps that should have been one of the criteria when I was buying it, but somehow I don't think the lovely salesman's sense of humour would have stretched that far! His assistant assured me I could use this bike for racing; yes, you read that correctly, he said racing. I just told him that would not happen, quite politely mind you! (I did however, use the word silly.)
Well, I have just taken the bike ( I think he needs a name, shall we have a competition? A kind competition please, to name my bike.) out for another ride. This time I managed a circular route of about just over 3 miles, with much huffing and puffing. I have reached that stage where I am glowing healthily so now I am going to move some more donkey dung before I reward myself with some lovely smelly shower stuff and a hair wash.
Too much detail? well, the alternative was a glass of wine, so I feel that if I write down the healthy option, then I am more likely to do that rather than sink into a large glass of red. I really do have the breaking power of a kitkat!
