Jenjer’s Missing Riding Mojo

5th April – 198 Days to go

OK – so the 30k ride didn’t go too well…actually it was rubbish as I barely managed 20k’s – and that included riding to the train station and home again.

As the Queen of Excuses, I think where I am struggling is the pace I ride at.  I like to ride at ooooh 10-12kph…and Sar likes to ride at 16-18kph…so there is always a huge gap between us and the mental issue of ‘being last’…something I am not used to.

How to up the pace? I know the answer is to ride faster (D’oh) but I literally do not appear to have the legs for it.  Now my legs have always been pretty strong, but recently they are all fat and no muscle, and my riding goes something like ‘pedal pedal glide’ as opposed to ‘pedal pedal pedal’ which invokes much piss-taking from Sar, my brother and even my Mum.

How to remedy this?

Physically, I am assuming more time on the bike and weights will fix this - Doris, help me out here?

Mentally, I really really really need to find my missing riding mojo  - how the hell I do this I have no idea.  And the fact that I am getting whipped (sadly not like that!) by Sar in the riding stakes is pissing me off no end.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m dead proud of her for how well she is doing, but just really pissed off about it, as I appear to be totally shite.

So – if you find my riding mojo, please return it to me at;

    Darling, you just need to get out there and ride. I am happy to ride at whatever speed you and increase it slowly!

    The whole point of us doing this ride was so we had a challenge 'together' and I want us to complete this together!

    Love you

The Start of Summer...

The first day of summer seems like a good time to get back into blogging... It's been a fair few years since I have shared my thoughts with you, my apologies for that but life sometimes does get in the way... Since we last spoke, I have accepted and departed from oh, lets see, 2 jobs...maybe 3...who can say when it's been so much fun! 😉 Soooo much to tell you on that front, and now I can! But I'll save my rantings on ginger, small-dicked misogynistic wankers for another time... Right, flexing of my fingers s over....I'll be back to tell you the tale of the past year or two shortly! Gracias, Jenjer x

The 30km Test

14 th March – 220 days to go So, after a couple of rides over small distances i.e., to the beach and back, the first test is looming this Sunday in the form of a 30km charity bike ride. 30kms, I am rationalizing in my head, is not really that far…its basically from the new place to the bottle shop 30 times....how hard can that be…right?! What I’m not looking forward to is the sore arse I know I’ll have the next day despite wearing those lovely chamois padded lycras….I’m also not really looking forward to the 7.30am start….I mean Sunday is sleep in day, and cramming in breakfast and exercise at that hour is frankly, quite rude. This ride will be a good mini test for a longer ride and I am actually looking forward to it. To celebrate, I have new gel riding gloves (with pink & white flowers of course!) so I am keen to get them out for playtime! After a training run on the hockey pitch last night, I realize exactly just how unfit and lazy I have become (yes…’become’ to all those ...
