I got a few more things out of storage the other day and after doing so realised that with a bit of pushing and shoving I could get at my electric bike. I originally thought that it would be trapped until I eventually completely cleared the storage at the end of my house build, but after taking out the stuff that I’d come for and a few extra minutes of effort, I did manage to extract it.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, its tyres were flat but after loading up the other stuff, I pushed my bike out and pumped up its tyres with the foot pump that I always keep in the back of my car. I then had to leave it tucked away in a hideaway outside the storage until I could get back to ride it home, which was yesterday evening after Wednesday’s usual ‘apero’ at my place.<\/p>\n

I’ve been keeping its battery topped up in my caravan for the past few months and I took it with me together with a rag to give my bike a dust down before enjoying quite an exhilarating ride back to Labattut. The last section of road was downhill and it was great to be able to cool off a bit, accelerating without pedalling through the now cooling evening air as the temperature had been up to 33 degrees Celsius during the afternoon and early evening.<\/p>\n

This morning while it was still cool, I went for my first Labattut bike ride.<\/p>\n

Although the route that I took, heading towards Fleurac, is relatively flat I decided not to overdo it, thinking more about my aging joints and muscles that haven’t been used to this sort of activity for many months. So I was only out for half an hour or so, but it was great fun and really enjoyable. It was also a terrific way to take advantage of the amazing weather that we’re currently experiencing, so I think that I’ll start my days in exactly the same way, maybe extending the time and distance that I cover, while it persists over the coming days, or weeks even \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
