Miles in the legs

After my couple of false starts i was keen to get some miles in my legs and so whilst i was waiting for my new tyres to arrive for my road bike I decided to take a trip on my mountain bike. I always like to have a purpose when riding, rather than just doing it for the sake of it so i decided to cycle to Lidl (the Shop) of all places as I had heard they sometimes sold good cheap cycle gear. Lidl was actually 10 miles away so it was good to get out and complete the 20 mile road trip. I tested myself a few times to see how quick i could cycle a mile (fastest around 4 minutes) and obviously hopefully i will be quicker on my road bike. The stuff in Lidl was not really anything i needed but my tyres were waiting for me when i got back so fingers crossed tomorrow things can really start to get moving.
