I am bitten by the cycling bug, another 32 miles last night. Day off today, but will be back on it tomorrow as the OH is out on the town!
There is something about being out on two wheels on your own with the freedom to go anywhwre(within reason) lol
Happy days.
Oh and i will never gamble again!

Well done on continuing with the positive gamble free progress, and hope your day without cycling was a good one.
Back when I used to be exercising every day, it was the days off that always hurt the most as the muscles got stiff and sore, hope you're still in one piece!

Day 137!
Hi delboy,
have never posted to your diary before. Just posting to whoever happens to be at the top of the list today!
You must be so fit to be able to cycle over 30 miles! Fantastic achievement. It sounds like you get so much pleasure from it - bitten by the cycling bug! Us CG's seem to have quite addictive personalities in general, but addiction to cycling is miles better than gambling.
I would like to offer a suggestion if I may? Would it be good to think about what you would do were you to have an injury, or your bike was off the road for some reason? The reason I make this suggestion is I know a lot of people who rely on lots of exercise for stress relief and general wellbeing, but they get quite down and restless if they can't do their favourite exercise for some reason. Just food for thought maybe? Good to have more than one spanner in your toolbox, metaphorically speaking. lol. I like meditation, but when something really stressful and overwhelming comes along in life, I find it hard to meditate when I'm really anxious. At these times, my back-up plan is jewellery making. It's fiddly so you have to concentrate, so it seems to calm my mind down.
Anyway, sounds like you are doing flippin great! Well done on 130+ days!
Take care,

Thanks Freda,
I never thought of getting injured lol and at nearly 42 i am not as young as I used to be. I do get ratty when i cant exercise but doing 30 miles is something i do every other day! i am out on it tonight but last exercised on friday!
I have a couple of bikes so if i did get injured i would just probably spend a little more time on the maintenance of them!
Ps, I'm never going to be fighting fit as i like the red wine too much lol
