I've started cycling again, maybe 4 miles on the flat four days for the first week, then throw in a hill for the next week and then keep adding a couple of miles per ride. Eventually I'll be back to the 2 mile flat, 8 mile climb and fantastic 10 mile desent home. Unfortunately I have lung damage and should I push it further than that I tend to get ill although I can do an all day ride if we stop or take it easy. I sometimes get pissed off when other cyclists sneer at my slow pace but untill they bring out a top with "I am sick dont laugh" on the back I'll learn to ignore it.
A couple of years ago I was at 16-20 miles per day, mostly climbs but as the weather got worse I started to cough up blood and catch cold every week. Still we can try.

I was a bit worried I'd lost it with regards to mountain biking but last weekend me and my 15 year old son got dropped off at the top of a really good peak district downhill route which is miles and tough going... he struggled while I was bouncing off boulders and even did a 6 ft drop off.
Once the adrenaline gets going my mind really gets sharper, i can still do infinite track stands, stoppies and fly down the hills. Might be hope for me yet. I do need enjoy it more after a good uphill first thou, just to get the endorphins. Funny most people don't feel them like i do.
You know you want to... I tried motorcycles for a while but cycling is the shit!

I know it's not the kind of cycling you'll be doing but for some reason I was inspired to go out on my bike when I watched this video this morning. I also tried a wheelie when I was out but it's safe to say neither me nor my bike are designed for them

i love it when strangers can articulate my deepest... thoughts!
Today I wrestled the bike out of its place, pumped up the tyres, stuck the daypack in the rear basket and headed off the shops to get a few bits.
On the way I realised I was taking the long route, the one that that has access points to the main cycleway around here. So I took an even more extended route to the shops. Lovely sunshine and a nice cool breeze to cool me down when I tackled a few hills.
I'll have to check the brake cables before I head out tomorrow.
