Has everyone abandoned Retrobike? It's been very quiet on here recently, so I thought I'd add a few pics of my ride today.
Yesterday was our daughters 22nd Birthday and we'd agreed she could have a birthday party in our flat whilst Myself and MrsJimo escaped for a night in Dundee (we were assured the party would be civilised
), so this morning after breakfast at the hotel I headed off to see what was nearby whilst MrsJimo slept off last nights wine (and to help clear my own head too!!)
The hotel was by the old docks so I threw a weary leg over the Orange Five and headed off. There are some pretty cool cycle paths and things to see in Dundee, I rode around the old docks and then along past the V&A museum, before heading onto the Tay Bridge.
It was a grey misty morning but nice enough to ride around, I'd brought no cycling gear with me as I hadn't planned on going for a ride, so I was in Jean's and trainers, jacket, and no helmet, and it felt very normal!
I had planned to cross the Tay Bridge but with the poor visibility and checking out time fast approaching I decided to head back to the hotel.
Thank goodness my ribs are on the mend, it's still a bit painful pulling up on the bars to lift the front wheel, and taking deep breaths, but hopefully by next week I'll be able to manage a "proper" mtb ride
