Matt asked me if I wanted to go for another bike ride. It was the last thing I wanted to do. But as I have said that I would say yes to everything health related this year I said I would go.
We went to the village again and this time I caught up with the cyclists in front. It’s amazing the feeling when you are going faster than the other cyclists. It really gave me a boost to get back up the 3 mile hill afterwards.
I went over half way up without stopping. I seemed to get myself into a rhythm and there was no stopping me. I was buzzing and I could have carried on but Matt and Jonny, my son, were behind. So I stopped and waited for them.
When I got back on I didn’t do quite so well but I did it! I was very happy with my achievement.
Matt said later that my legs are getting really thin and I am starting to look like a flamingo.
He said this because flamingos have really thin long legs and a big body and joked that if I keep up cycling it will get worse!
He didn’t stop me from feeling really happy with my achievement.
We then went to the Camargue region in France for the day where there were flamingos which I thought was a funny coincidence.
