During a heatwave too… I did it though! Can’t beat the feeling of a hard bike ride (when it’s over, haha!)
I took my bike on the train back in April, finally got round to editing all the cycling I did there! This one was the easiest of the three, haha

Here I am questioning my life choices. I had no idea that Yorkshire was this hilly. Ah, it comes up on the camera. Okay, we’re in Harriate now and I’m going to say best ride ever. Honestly, the ones where you kind of want to die and you get through that are the best rides for me anyway. God, this is mad. I definitely wasn’t prepared for how hilly Yorkshire is. My god. That’s why I love cycling because it challenges you. You can’t give up. It’s the one thing in life where you can’t give up. You have to keep pushing through the pain. No, seriously, you do have to keep pushing through the pain with cycling. Um, yeah. So, we’re in these forests now. Lovely. I think I need to get some sort of Garmin or something because I’ve got no idea when hills are coming or how like tall they are. I’m just winging it. And on the way back I just had my phone off for directions cuz I’ve got no battery and I forgot to put my pack. So, I’ve just been completely cycling blind basically because that that B- road was insane. Actually, insane. I think I’m going to go get an ice cream now. Oh, yeah. All that as well on the first day of my body period. It feels more achievement because of that. [Music] Oh, well. Uh, can I get a latte, please? Yeah. Um, a cheese and ham toasty. Yep. And what cakes do you have? Oh, right. We’ve got Persian lemon, carrot, lemon drizzle, and chocolate orange. Uh, carrot cake, please. Carrot cake. And can I get a glass of water as well, please? Yep. Yep. Thank you.
