I’ve been cycling a little bit in the last couple of weeks. I take each day as it comes, depending upon the weather, but I think that I’ve managed four days so far. This comes to about 40 miles.
As I mentioned in September last year, I bought a cycle computer so that I could keep track of my average speed. Unfortunately, I found that all those statistics were having a detrimental effect upon my enjoyment of the ride. It’s hard to really relax and enjoy it when you’re trying to beat your personal best by 0.1mph. So this year I’m leaving the cycle computer at home and just taking my time. Ironically, I’m probably faster because of it.
