Day One

You might have expected me to line up a spectacular ride for the first, but no, just a fairly ordinary local loop to fit around work and household crap like going to the supermarket.

The ride was a 1.5 hour trundle on my road bike. Nothing very long but a coule of decent hills which felt harder than usual today.

The bike used was a Specialized Langster, it's a singlespeed so even a short ride can feel like a decent workout. Ive had the bike for about 4 years now, havent done a thing to it apart from give it some lube and repair the odd puncture. It could do with a clean, but it'd just get dirty again.

So, where's my local loop? I live on the edge of a fairly dull town called Berango, near Bilbao in the Basque country, its 15 minutes from work, on the metro line and I live in a pleasant half house with a nice garden. The cats certainly like it and their opinion is the most important in this houshold.

Weather - Chilly but sunny and dry.
