One of the best sports that I have always enjoyed both participating in and watching is cycling.  So when I decided that I wanted to lose some weight, naturally I wanted to do it on my bike.

I’ve been cycling in and out of work, which is about 2.5 miles eachway three times a week for the last few weeks, but wanted to stretch myself and see where my limit was.

Yesterday me and my dad decided to cycle along the rochdale canal from close to manchester to hebden bridge in west yorkshire.  It’s about 25 miles eachway.

I did it, I completed it whilst enduring temperatures of close to 30 degrees.  The good news was that not once did i feel out of breath.  Infact my body was giving up long before my heart and lungs were.  I finished it very dehydrated and burnt but felt really pleased to have done it.

weight loss since start of july = half a stone
