New year started today and I went for a bikeride, up to the corner and back so 3km. Took 15 minutes. The bike has been sprayed and fiddled with, tyres pumped up, so it wasn't that bad. I hope to ride into town this week, to see if I can. And if I can then I hope to do it a couple of times a week. That would be good.
If I don't ride then I need to start walking again. Or anything again.
I have printed off a chart thing with the months printed and divided into sections, the idea is to colour in a section each day I move to keep an account of what is done.
And as of today I am on track!! How good am I?! haha.
We'll see how I go this time...

Bikes aint bikes..
Went for a bikeride this afternoon, first one in awhile though. I have tried though, kinda. Sometimes. Once or twice anyway.
A couple of months back I was going to start riding again and on the 6th September I did. And a couple before that and a couple after, did some stepping too and was getting the numbers up. But then I stopped. As I do. Then I went and stayed with a woman and she has a bike that she rides 3 times a day, every day. So I asked if I could borrow her bike and go for a ride around the oval. And I did. That bike was so easy to ride I rode for miles, every day I was there. Then I came home and rode my bike. Not easy, so hard I couldn't get to neighbors driveway without hurting and being puffed. So I came home and put the bike away. Went to womans house again and rode her bike. For miles, it was so easy.
Husband looked at my bike, fiddled with the gears, sprayed everything, pumped the tyres up and I rode up the road and around the corner. Hard but doable. Next time I tried, harder. But I felt the tyres and they seemed OK. He comes out and tries the tyres and pumps them up and I rode around the corner to the limestone. And today to the corner and back.
But I think I need another bike. What sort and where from? And how much will it cost me?! No idea what I need and though I have looked at KMart I am not sure if they will be any easier than the one I have now. I may need a visit to Mandurah or Bunbury and go into a proper bike shop for advice. In the meantime I will ride mine when I can.
