When I got back on my bike earlier today, it just felt right... I rode it home via the backstreets (Didn't have my helmet with me you see) which only took a neat five minutes... I made it home without incident, swapped out the old platform pedals to a pair of Shimano PD-M785 Deore XT Pedals.. Yep, I was going to do it once, and right, as mother would say... when I say do it once and right - I'm most likely talking about getting to a set of traffic lights, forgetting I'm clipped in and falling slowly.
Happy that my pedals were set up nice and loose, off I went for a quick spin to meet Kev and drop in his TurnStyle bags, then off out round a short loop... Short because I'm super unfit, short because I wanted to make sure all was in order...
Short because I didn't want to end up laying on the side of the road, out of breath and wondering how long it'd take my body to make enough energy to get me home... Yes, it is that bad.
Well... This is a [getting progressively more..] fat man's journey back to fit...
Wish me luck.
