After re-decorating the sitting room for the past 3 weeks I at long last went on the regulation cycle . I went as far as malahide and was going to go a small bit further , but I am glad I did not as nearly 50KM was enogh as I was really out of practice.. Who did I meet when in Malahide just finished his cuppa only me brother cyclist , Ted . He was just finished . He was with his pal who had an electric bike which I would say I will have in a few years time . Nearly 69 now and time really flies. It really does. Ted does not really look that well and very thin. It was absolutely great getting out of the house as it was ages since I was out doing the regulation cycle and I felt very enclosed being inside all the time . Admittedly I could have gone out in the middle of the project but I think I got my priorities right by not doing so. Anywas an absolutely great cycle. . Last cycle was Nov 16th to Athy . Also I will have to do just 50KM per week to bring it up to 4000KM in the year. 49.61KM to be exact
