The sun was shining so I thought I’d give it a go. Had a lovely ride, although much slower than last year, but I managed 12 miles to Stratford upon Avon with my OH pushing me on. The trouble was coming back. I made it half way but couldnt find it in me to push on since last year my walking has deteriorated so perhaps that was the reason. I’ll have to practise on my exercise bike, which I hate, or perhaps shorter rides out to build up my stamina. Fingers crossed its not down hill from here, although that would be easy on a bike Feeling fustrated!
Well done you for effort. Maybe next time, plan a shorter route. better t o do more short runs, than over exert yourself and arrive home totally knackered.

12 miles! Not sure what you could do before but that’s a great distance Maybe do a 6 mile trip next time, so you know you’ll be able to ace it xx
Tandem??
You could get an electric bike/trike and have the security of being able to flick a switch if fatigue sets in.
hey, you managed 12 miles to Stratford - brilliant! It’s been a long winter - of course you can’t expect more, any non Ms person would find it hard to come back…!
Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am pleased I managed about 18 mile before I ground to a halt…Unfortunately, an electric bike is out of the question at the moment as I only brought my new bike last year, after I left my old bike in Paris,following an exciting cycling holiday to Paris to watch my daughter in the World Rope Skipping Championships. I hope things pick up. Ive been on Tecfidera since November but I feel my walking is slowly getting worse. I see my MS nurse at the end of April for my 3 monthly blood test. Last results were a bit low for my liking 0.54 if I remember rightly
Rope World Skipping Championships? Not heard of that. How did your girl do?
