First ride for a while, nice to be back

The story is long, complicated and boring but the bottom line is I NEEDED a bike to go from A-B (several times) during yesterday.....embarrassingly I hadn't a single project bike that was rideable though

Solution, visit my Pace in storage, dust it down, lube the chain, apologise to it for neglecting it for so long and whack some air in the tyres.....Mmmmmmm first ride in nearly two years and it was lovely....Bedford town centre got to see my beloved RC200 and me in my new RetroBike shirt

Ass was a little sore by the time I swung my leg over for the fourth time but I was in work gear and no chamois/lycra....IT'S NICE TO BE BACK

if theres a hard truth to cycling. its fairly easy to stay fit, it can be pretty hard to get fit, espically after extended time off the bike (espically if due to illness)
I wince whenever I see people riding in denim :shock: fine for DH & BMX.. not ideal for extended actual pedalling..
