Day 11: 49% Complete
Today I cycled to work and back and braved Scott Hall Road which I have never done before. Albeit I had to push my bike up half of the hill as it was truly awful, but I gave it my best shot and one can only assume if I am mad enough to brave it again I will be able to cycle up two thirds of it. Cycling on the road there is simply too dangerous so I had to mount the pavement and deal with all the potholes instead.
I cannot begin to convey the sense of joy I felt as I came down the hill on the other side, it was glorious. A moment of sheer beauty... until I had to go uphill again! By that point I was almost home anyway so the thought of being home and drying off kept me going.
Soaking wet, too hot, sore bottom. Great, or at least I thought so until mapmyride told me I'd only burnt off 238 calories doing it! Probably shouldn't have had that chocolate covered flapjack at lunchtime, but it did have fruit in it...
