When I went to the house the other day I picked up my bike and today I took a run to Cleveland. I did 30.5 km and although there were a few hills I felt not too bad when I got back. It’s quite a busy road and I’ve driven it many times before but this is the first time I have cycled it and you certainly realise that the hills are a bit more challenging. On the way there you drop down to sea level but on the way back with the head wind I felt the old legs complaining a little, but as usual one must never get off.
For my first run in this neighbourhood it went well and I’m going to look for more of the bike paths that are around this area to make the going a bit easier, there are still too many dickheads driving on the roads to give you a fright.
Tomorrow if I feel up to it I might go for anther wee run. The bike is running well and it’s good to get back on board, although using the clip on shoes took a bit of getting used to again. I had to make sure that my knee is in the upright position before twisting my foot to unclip or I may twist my knee instead.
I went to the lighthouse at Cleveland overlooking Moreton Bay which is a very pretty spot, although the wind was a bit fresh…………..
