So you found it then. Finally you've stumbled across the ramblings of the infamous Mountain Bike Girl. Lucky you. Here you can find everything you ever wanted to know about me and my adventures on bikes - wherever, whenever and whoever they may be with. I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy writing about them.

On this page you'll find my diary, where I can post bits of news, brief stories about what I've been up to, thoughts for the day and whatever else pops into my head. (Alright, it's a blog, but that's such a common word I thought I'd try and make it sound a bit more personal.) Everything else you need to know can be found using the navigation menu on the left. And if you're really bored, you can even email me@mountainbikegirl.com

Turbo-tastic

Totally ran out of time today, I really don't know where the day went. It was dark before I knew what was happening! Still, with the urge to ride still strong, I popped down to the shed and dragged my surly Cross-Check up to the 3rd floor, stepped over the various power tools blocking the spare room doorway, pushed paint tins, planks and architrave to the edges of the room, and set up the turbo trainer on the nail infested floor boards.

iPod now recharged, I settled into a good steady hour of leg spinning. Legs felt fine, but I had that 'bruised backside' feeling again. You know, for all the years I've been riding, if I take a few weeks off I always get this after my first ride. You'd have thought I (or rather my backside) would be use to this by now, but no, I can guarantee it every time.

Feeling good though and looking forward to my next ride. Bring it on!

An hour on a turbo? That's madness, I'd rather hammer rusty nails into my eyes :)

I always have that problem too! Never mind that I've been riding forever. I like your blog by the way.
