We've been out on our first few big rides over the last couple of weeks - getting used to spending time in the saddle, using clip-ins for the first time and stomping down some miles!
We've also just discovered the Strava GPS app - which tracks our distance, speed and elevation - and compares our performance with the pros and our friends. Everything has since got a LOT more competitive.
We're lucky to have quite a few mates who are keen cyclist and so looking forward to getting some big rides in with some friends - with the odd pub stop along the way.
Most of our riding has been in Richmond Park so far, but we're off for our first trip to Box Hill next week.
Now is also the time to say that the score is now 1-0 in Jam's favor in our tally of upsets/embarrassing moments. Whilst stuck in traffic in Richmond Park on Sunday I successfully managed to unclip my left foot, but lean to the right - resulting in the first fall. Needless to say, Jam sped off and pretended not to know me.
