Well where to begin - ok, how about with a little bit about me? Boring I know but it'll help create an atmosphere I'm sure!
My name is Alicia, I'm 23, a full time mum to my lovely 9mth old baby boy Ethan, a full time wife to Luke, part time physiotherapist and photographer and a wannabe road-cyclist. What made me decide to attempt to get into cycling??? 2 friends and fellow physiotherapists are CRAZY triathletes! I was continuously amazed by their training and their competitions. I have absolutely no ability to run and as for swimming - well, let's just say that if I was on a sinking boat 100m from shore, I'd probably choose drowning over swimming kinda puts me out of the triathlete category. However, the world of cycling, seemed to excite something in my brain.
Now that Ethan is 9mths (and weighs as much as the average 3 year old) I'm looking for a new way to exercise (pushing the pram is getting old!). I decided to go in to The Yellow Jersey Bike Shop in Ipswich and explore my options.
Let me just plug these guys a bit - THEY ARE AMAZING!!! They honestly deserve an award for having more patience than anyone could be expected to have!
So, what's my cycling history like to date??? Well honestly, I have NEVER owned or ridden a bike with gears and the last bike I had (Which happened to belong to my Grandmother!) braked by backpeddling!
This should be interesting right???
