On Day 28 of 30 days of biking something momentous happened. I made it onto the drops!! That's right, I took Rosie out for a ride on the hilly country roads near my house and I rode at least a kilometer with my hands on the drops instead of the hoods. I picked a nice … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 28

30 days of biking: day 27
It's the last weekend of 30 days of biking, and I'm beginning to feel a bit blue about it finishing. I've loved every minute of the challenge - it's been thoroughly enjoyable. I love the fact that I've ridden my bike so many days in a row, that I've replaced car journeys with bike rides … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 27
30 days of biking: day 23
Day 23 was the first working day of 30 days of biking when I haven't been able to cycle to work. Today I had an out of the office meeting which meant that I had to drive. I was really quite grumpy about it, which is not something I had expected to happen when I … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 23
30 days of biking: day 21
I'm feeling really proud of myself today. It's day 21 of my 30 day challenge and I've done something momentous: I've ridden Rosie, my wibbly-wobbly road bike, on a ride on my own. That might not sound like much to you, but I've only ridden her a handful of times and have been really nervous … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 21
30 days of biking: day 20
Day 20 of 30 days of biking has been one of the most enjoyable yet. In part, this is due to the gorgeous spring-like weather that we're finally experiencing, but it's more to do with the fact that Day 20 has been a day for making new cycling friends. For a little while now I've … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 20
30 days of biking: day 17
Day 17 of my 30 day challenge and I'm still going strong! I have to admit, though, I preferred Day 16 to Day 17. Day 16 consisted of the sort of sunny weather that made me sing quietly to myself as I pedaled into work. Day 17, on the other hand, brought grey skies, strong … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 17
30 days of biking: day 14
Day 14 eh?! That means I'm nearly half way through this 30 day challenge. I'm quite impressed that I've got this far! Day 14 brought a pretty strong southerly wind, which put me off going out when the alarm went off this morning (that's right, I'd set my alarm on a Sunday morning - that's … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 14
30 days of biking: day 13
Today I'm introducing you to my third and final bike. Her name is Rosie and she's the road bike my husband bought me for Christmas. She looks like this: Rosie was my steed of choice for Day 13 of my 30 day challenge. I had a busy day planned, so wanted to just get up … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day 13
30 days of biking: day ten
I can't believe I've made it to day ten of my 30 day challenge already! Those ten days have just whizzed past. There's not a huge amount to tell you about my last couple of days of riding. It's been more of the same - commuting on Ruby. But today something super happened. I was … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day ten
30 days of biking: day seven
The seventh day of my 30 day challenge took me to Haldon Forest near Exeter for a play at the skills area there. It's a great little section, where I was able to practice my step ups and drop offs. I had drop offs down a little while ago, but changed the forks on my … Continue reading 30 days of biking: day seven
