Out for a quick spin on my Rourkie bike

The other day, I went on my first bike ride in over 10 years since I got diagnosed with asthma and osteoarthritis.

My lovely custom made steel bike from Brian Rourke ⬆️

Somehow I thought that it would be a great idea to drag my husband out on a bike ride in 28c. ☀️ 🤣

And I forgot how much hills hurt on a road bike, even small ones.

Loved it though. My Garmin cycling team top got a run out too, it's pretty retro now!

Just a short ride to make sure the bikes still work and I remember how to use the clip in pedals without falling off before we go on a longer one.

I’ve subsequently bought a new pair of fingerless cycling mitts because mine have gone missing somewhere in all those years, and I’ve ordered a new cycling top online as well, because I found somewhere with a good sale.

Here are a couple more photos, the yellow/white bike is my husband's Giant. ⬇️
