A New Cyclist

If you read Alex's blog below, you will see that he has found a sudden liking for cycling. It started with him going for short rides on his own, increasing the distance day by day, until eventually he was able to go to Aberford and back without stopping. I offered to go with him, an offer he gladly accepted. We went to Towton and back via Saxton, about 20 miles in distance. I have to say I was very impressed with his determination and level of fitness. The next day we had intended to increase the distance to 25 miles by going round by Church Fenton, but a suggested detour to Ryther was agreed, increasing the distance to in the region of 30 miles. Today we went to Selby, 42 miles, and included a cafe stop. Definitely a new cyclist in the family and one with much potential. We'll have to watch him.
