They do say that you lose fitness twice as fast as you gain it. So if you go, say, 3 weeks without riding a bike or similar exercise, it’ll take you 6 weeks to get back to the level of fitness you were at.

Which is the reason why mopeds are the way to go...

That makes sense actually. I’m going to have to build back up to this gradually I think!

Back on the moped tomorrow!

Or get one of those motor-bicycles thingys. I think Sinclair made one. Motor up hill, pedal down. On the flats, it’s your discretion.

I’m actually a lot happier having successfully completed the journey home without the need for a defribulator, as I have discovered one of the reasons while I struggled so much this morning - my bicycle has 2 flat tyres. Which kind of explains why I found it so bloody difficult to pedal 4.5 miles this morning.

That, and being so incredibly out of shape of course.
