30 December 2010
After a break of nearly 20 years, I’ve decided to start riding again. At first it was hard, went out on a baby ride and hit my first 14% gradient hill and halfway up had to pull over due to me feeling as rough as a badgers arse. Nothing gets you inspired that seeing yourself sitting on a kerb feeling all light-headed and worse for wear.
Since then I’ve been hammering it hard and now do around 250 km’s a week on the bike. Whilst i’m not 100% fit, hills no longer scare me. I’m going to try and incorporate more road photography with this hobby, so expect some Stefan Rohner inspired shots soon.
