Bike seat bum, no more!

You get to a point when you no longer feel the consequence of sitting on a bike seat for several hours. After yesterdays ride I can say thank goodness I have reached that point. I had a sweet ride around Takapuna, where they have more bike lanes so although traffic is busier you don’t feel like your life is in danger. Liza joined me this late morning, very proud as she took on a rather steep hill (going down at a great rate of knots) and conquered all the up hills. Nice work honey, thumbs up !

Last year I was a sponsored athelete in that the bike I used was my sister in laws, so not long after moving to Auckland I splurged (with the encouragement of Liza) on a new flashy carbon bike, nice. The first time I took it out I was caught by a gust of wind which almost picked me up and pushed me off the road, just because the bike is so light. I must admit this spooked me a little and hence it has taken time for me and “contessa” (name of the bike) to bond. However after at least 3 bike sessions per week I am finally starting to feel comfortable, I believe Contessa and I will form a lasting relationship

Today is April 2nd, with Easter next weekend we only have 10 working days left until we take leave for the big day. OMG gotta go so much work to do ….
