I like to ride my bicycle

I like to ride my bike! Ok, so enough of the cheesy song lyrics.
As you can probably tell from the picture and my ramblings above, I've been out and bought a road bike today. All very exciting especially when you think that the last bike I got was when I was 7 years old. Being out of action for the last 4 years too has meant that it hasn't really been practical for me to get one until now.
It's been an incredibly busy day today. So much so that I haven't looked after Jenna that much as I've been out. I owe Ellen a great big thank you for looking after her!
Kendal has got quite a few bike shops so Dad and I were out all morning looking in these. We eventually found one I particarly liked the look of in Evan's cycles. So whilst Dad and my credit card were being held hostage by the shop, I took it out by the riverside for a trial.
I liked and I bought. As simple as that!
Dad and I went for a 12+ mile bike ride in the afternoon. What with living in the hilly countryside, it was hard work but a nice hard work if you get me. Got the old muscles working and the lungs puffing anyway!
Not surprisingly very tired now so I'm off to rest!
