Three Word Cycling

Loaned road bike.
Let's do this.

50 mile? Ok.

Bike is different.
Not my hybrid
Hills are unpleasant
Seat position different.
Pace yourself, Rach
Different is ok.

Bike much lighter
This isn't bad
Keep thinking positive

2 hours in
How far cycled?
24 miles, really?
Only second outing 
Feeling quite proud

Aaaah, Bolton Abbey
Coffee, cake, perfect.

Time to return
Oh my god!
That REALLY hurts
Shorts been rubbing

Pass the Vaseline
Pass the sudocreme
Ow ow ow

How far home?
I hate this!!

Shut up chimp!! 

You can't cycle
Slow, lagging behind 
Holding them back

Shut up chimp!!

I'm so sore
I hate this

Jesus!! More hills
Gear level stuck
FUCKING CHANGE GEAR
Ok Rach, calm

Sing a song.
See, that's better.
Keep going Rach
Just keep swimming

Swimming is nice
Swimming isn't cycling
Swimming is fun
Cold water euphoria
Hot, sweaty, stinky
This isn't fun
This is hell
I hate cycling

SHUT UP CHIMP

Life is good
Having nice time
Stop lying Rach
You hate this

It's ok really
Just different bike
Almost home, see! 

Few more hills 
Road bike lighter
Cycling is easier
Hybrid is heavy
Just keep going
Think positive thoughts 
Pedal. Pull. Push.
Pedal. Pull. Push

Sharon taken down
Didn't expect that.
Mark clipped wheel
All it takes

Boom!! On deck!!

Ok be careful.
Keep going Rach
Nice n steady

Tired. Sore. Grumpy.
Just keep going.
Back at Sharon's
Coffee, Mars bar
Stretch everything out.

That was awful.
Never cycling again. 

Every part hurts
Want to cry


Till next time
