It wasn't long before I realised that my
passion for cycling had been rekindled. And it wasn't long before I needed to
get a new bike - the 'retro' bike that I had been kindly given was rapidly
showing its age. The final straw was when the chain broke mid cycle and I had
to take the slow walk back to the car. I looked up second hand shops and took a
friend down to Portsmouth to see if I could source a replacement.
I returned with a Giant hybrid - lighter than a mountain bike,
more robust than a racer. Just what I needed to ride the paths of the New
Forest.
As it was nearing the end of the summer holiday I was convinced
to go on a ride round lymington. 17 miles later we returned to the cars. Some
more muddy than others.
The bug was well and truly caught.
