Yippee! A great ride this morning as it was my first with rolling hills alongside the Swan River.
Steve's Hill is about 10km out and even though I needed granny and three, I climbed it without too much effort. Jutland Parade was pleasant and got over the little rollers without too much trouble (although in a lower gear ).
There were plenty of big groups around as well as small groups of three and four. From one big group I hear the shout of "Get a real bike!". I laughed as I hadn't heard that one in a while. Sometimes its feels good to be noticed, no matter what.
No sore knees or busting lungs which gives me confidence that my training is going well. My back specialist strongly recommended swimming for my back, so I will do alternate days swimming and cycling. But if it looks a better option to ride than swim I will always go the bike.
