Biker Bottom

I really haven’t cycled very far. At all. I would say that the furthest I’ve cycled was to Brighton last year. But I’ve decided to cycle to Paris. So with a week to go, I thought it would be a good idea to get some training in. Maybe it’s too late. But I should probably learn how to change a tyre.

So after work last Wednesday night, I cycled out to Richmond Park. Stopping to change a puncture once (Paris suddenly seemed very far).

Once I finally made it to Richmond Park, I realised that place is FULL of cyclists and very aggressive ones. Everyone is in the proper kit whizzing around and overtaking me a lot. I prefer to cycle with people that care less in a place where there are no people. But I can’t wait to cycle to Paris. I love travelling by bike. And after 21 miles training(?!) last Wednesday, hopefully I will make it there.

Watch this space. If I make it, then I really am proving that people (with no skills at all?!) can attempt to do things they’ve never tried before.
