The last couple of rides have got me thinking.. yesterday, I really struggled so went out and did pretty much the same route, and managed far better, and i was thinking how - as still relatively new to the sport, how I was enjoying all the "firsts" so - my top 10 firsts: 1 - first ride on a road bike (also the first ride on my T5) 2 - first + 60km route 3 - first time topping 60 kmh 4 - first time doing 3 decent sized routes in a week 5 - first time with a route where all segments were either new or PB's 6 - first time clipless 7 - first time realising that I wasnt spending the whole ride on the verge of a heart attack, and feeling relatively strong 8 - first time topping 100km in a week 9 - first time getting home and not collapsing in a heap of sweating/panting/muscle shaking exhaustion 10 - first time in my MAMIL outfit and I really like that there's still loads of firsts to come.... whats yours?

1. Creating the first ever owners club for Triban/B'Twin owners! 2. First commute to and from work on a bike (T3) 3. Initially buying then riding my first road bike 4. After a few rides out on my sons MTB, buying my own good quality MTB . 5. Feeling a proper dweeb wearing Lycra for the first time. (Not phased in the slightest now!)

Yep, echoing no.5 above, the biggest first for me - and one which eclipses all cycling others - was wearing a 'circus strongman' bib... I await the next moment of such hilarity in my life with a mixture of great joy and trepidation.
