I bought a secondhand bike last week.
Took it out for an early morning cycle on Thursday. My friend planned the route and came with me. 6km in 45minutes. I found it pretty hard going but was very pleased when we'd done it.
This morning, I took a different route. 3km in 20minutes and it was really tough.
I'm thinking the 20minute blast is going to be easier to fit into my morning routine...I really prefer to go out early in the morning when there aren't as many people about and then still have time for a shower before starting work.
Maybe when I get better/faster, I can try the 6km route and do it in a quicker time. Not really sure what sort of time to expect to be able to do it in. This morning was only the third time I've been on a bike for 20 years so I am hoping to improve a bit over time !!
Any other learner cyclists trying to lose a lot bit of weight?
