Is it me or do rides really make you feel better? For some reason I got out of bed in a not-so-good mood this morning.
I went for a short-ish 30km ride this afternoon and now I feel loads better. I guess it's (what they call) those endorphins that help to relax you and lift your mood.
It's a bit hilly around here but I enjoy the uphills as much as zooming downhill. In fact I'd go so far as to say that I probably prefer going uphill for the challenge.
Cycled along some quiet and some heavily-trafficked roads but everyone was very decent. One woman didn't see me though and almost swiped me off as she opened her car door - but I feel too good right now to give it further thought.
The weather is still brilliant. I hope it continues.
I just love the feeling of freedom that cycling round Norfolk countryside gives me.
Cheers, helen s

Its not just you, that is one of the reasons I continued cycling when all other kids stop using their bikes.

Maybe not snow -- snow & (especially) ice are not cycling friendly. But two of the best rides I have had in the last 12 months were during heavy rain. I have no idea why -- rain is often a complete downer on a ride -- but once last November and again in the early spring I got caught in heavy rain which somehow turned an 'ordinary' ride into something magical.
