A HMT event virgin, but as I've been doing my usual job through Covid-19 lock-down, albeit in a different way, I thought it would good to plan something for my week off, rather than have it wasted by the "at home" family who have plenty of time to do what they want ;) We have had challenges through this strange time, but nothing compared to others, especially young people and children, but also damaged adults.
I can admit to be jealous of those who could enjoy their cycling on quiet roads in the past few months, but it has been enjoyable to see folk grabbing the opportunity. My challenge is not cycling on my own, but getting out to cover the 175 miles on our poorly maintained hilly roads. I am no speed merchant and my usual routes are 20-25 miles each, twice a week. However, the scenery is stunning. I asked my husband to cycle a few miles with Wyatt last year; this is me joining them in spirit, as cycling has been part of my mental health healing processes.
Whatever Covid-19 has done to your life; do remember it is just Nature misbehaving, not taking it out on you personally, so be kind to yourself.
