I've been getting on my bike again this week; using pedal-power to get to and from work each day; it's been a bit exhausting!
You see, I've not used my cycling muscles for a good few months. Why? Oh, the usual excuses - poor weather; the roads are a bit dangerous during rush hour; I'll get fit in other ways and then start cycling again (my achilles tendon has been playing up for about a year)...
I guess it's like most physical exercise. Staying motivated and getting out and just doing it is the key. And although I must admit I'm shattered and my knees tremble as I get off at the end of the journey, there is that rush of adrenalin and the overwhelming feeling that it's doing some good.
So for now, I'm sticking with it, even as autumn looms large on the horizon. :-)
