30 Days of Biking

If I hadn't been doing 30 days of biking, I wouldn't have gone out tonight.

I wouldn't have dug out the good waterproof, and the big headlight, and the bike with the mudguards, and the winter boots, and headed out after dark into the tempest. But I am doing 30 days if biking, and a washout bank holiday is almost over, so out I go. And once you've made that much effort, you might as well make a ride of it. Say an hour, keep you honest.

I never seriously considered falling at the final hurdle of the 30 days of biking challenge, which simply requires that you ride a bike every day in April. No biggy for someone who rides pretty much every day anyway – particularly given the glorious weather we've had.
