100 miles
Little Red has achieved 100miles! I'm a little bit chuffed with how well I'm doing on Little Red at the moment. We have ridden 7 times and Strava has told me 100 miles has passed... what an achievement. I have conquered some brutal hills (Big Red thinks they are gentle slopes....) if they were ski runs, they'd be classed as black. But along the way, I've learnt some tricks to help:
1. If I take my bum slightly off the seat up hills... I go faster
2. If I stay in as high a gear as possible and only go down when I can't take it any more... I go faster
3. If I wear padded shorts.... my lady area doesn't hurt when going for a wee
4. I can become Hillimenia the Conqueror
I'd say number 3 is by far the biggest achievement.
I also decided that every 100 miles, I'd take some pictures, be prepared to offend your eyes...
Two days ago I had a lovely chat with our TA at school who told me that she had lost 11 lbs with Slimming World. As a previous Fat Fighter devotee, I was sceptical about going back... spending more money and not getting anywhere.. that added to the fact that I'm loving full fat cheese. However, enough is enough and I made the decision then and there to start back. Tuesday at 5.30 it is. I bought the magazine today... along wide my favourite Hereford Hop cheese (as a last treat) and determined to give 6 months of 2017 to Slimming World and getting into shape. By September 30th 2017 when the Malvern Mad Matter is, I will buy myself a snazzy cycling top ready to show off a trim new me.
Today is another cycle... not sure how far Big Red will make me go. No doubt he will tell me it's 10 miles and then go further - grrrrr.
Love and speed bumps,
Little Red Ride xx
