The Heart Was Willing
On the Tuesday before the ride, I moved into the Burrage
Centre to join Norman and his merry bunch of exercisers, I joined on
the Tuesday and rode to the Burrage Centre from Ormesby, but into
disaster. Cardiac rehab had invariably always had leg exercises that
involved a cycling motion. Norman had me moving sideways, other
muscles were coming into play, cycling was now difficult. Back to the
Burrage on the Thursday, more sideways movements, little time before
the big ride now to recover. Complete at the Burrage, on the bike
later and cycle for two and a half-hours, this should make it all hurt
in the right direction.
A day off on Friday and then up early on the
morning of the ride, route planned, I want as many churches as I can
get. I had already decided it was no good starting locally, therefore
depart home at 08:45 to ride to Shrublands, arriving just after 09:30,
the ride starts at 10:00 therefore sit in the sunshine in Magdalene
Square. It's then time to start and sign in at St Mary Magdalene.
Third church, St Andrews, Gorleston by 10:05, not without some
amusement saw Paddy the vicar mending a puncture outside the church
door. (Little did I know then that we were to meet later).
