It has been three whole months since I last took to the saddle of my mountain bike! Due to unforeseen circumstances and a string of winter infections that just refused to go. But recently, the urge to get out on my bike has returned, I’m glad to say.

So even though the temperature was freezing, I set out on a short ride (I must work up my fitness again). I had about two hours of daylight left so I headed off to Buchan Park.

It was great to be out riding again, and the signs of spring are beginning to show now too. This is exactly what I do this for, to enjoy nature in every season.

The late afternoon sun was pleasant but did not feel warm enough to make any difference, and my thumbs were hurting towards the end of the ride. Also, my thighs were beginning to feel tight as well. I think 7 miles was plenty today! 😆

This has rekindled my appetite for riding. I will endeavour to take another ride in a day or so before I return to work. Perhaps I’ll be back to full strength by spring so that the rides will get longer.
