My mum got herself a new bike not that long ago. It's a feather-light Scott S30FB. Everything about it screams "RIDE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I've had a serious case of bike envy ever since I laid eyes on it. Last weekend I had a chance to ride it. It likes to go fast. It really does. But mum's bike's frame is too small for me, so I found myself not enjoying the ride! All bike envy GONE. It's just as well. This cycling malarky is awfully expensive. On the topic of cycling, I realise I've just racked up around 1800Km on my Apollo Fiamme. I'm very pleased about this. I've decided to set myself a goal of 2000Km for 2009. This year I've done around 450Km. If I maintain that average, I'll blow my goal away by the middle of the year. Of course, January's values are a little skewed, given I had a couple weeks' leave over xmas and had nothing better to do than go for long(ish) rides every day
