little things like teaching myself to ride no-handed in my 30s has been ridiculously satisfying. Now if someone could teach me to track stand, my life would be complete.
^this in tonnes.
Last night I cycled through nth lon, got a bit chilly so I look-mum-no-hands-it to do up my jacket. Deeply satisfying! I then wobbled and got back on the bars ;)
I was thinking of doing regular weekly womens city rides, taking in the route of the circle line as it's just something to peg it to. Hopefully encouraging more women to come and take part and also gain confidence with City riding. Would anyone else be up for it?
Thinking Mon or Tue.
Start & Finish at Kings Cross, but would do pick-ups on any Circle line stop.My own selfish reasons for this is to make me get on the bike after work, as I don't have a commute these days.
If no one joins me then oh well, I'll do it on my own, like most of the city riding we all do. It would just be nice to have some company, then maybe go for a drink afterwards.Here's another video, of an awesome woman on a bike doing some crazy ass things!

So much all of this ... learning new things, building confidence and learning to trust your judgment are all massive parts of the cycling experience. Having been quite a fearful child, little things like teaching myself to ride no-handed in my 30s has been ridiculously satisfying. Now if someone could teach me to track stand, my life would be complete.
Anyway, I came round here to say I may well be bailing next Sunday - I'm racing the following weekend and based on this morning's outing, I think need to plough up and down a river some more. Sorry all.
