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

"30 in 30" Day 14 - I Knew It...

I knew this day would come. The day when I had no time to ride, no real window of opportunity on a wet, dreary Thursday. And so came the scenario I had feared since the start of this challenge: riding around the streets of London on my folding bicycle for an hour.

There, I've admitted it; My name's Sara and I have a folding bicycle. It gets worse - I was wearing a bobble hat, a bicycle clip on one ankle and tucked the other trouser leg into my sock. I had a day glo wrist band on one arm.

I was a British Champion once (well, singlespeed anyway) and now this is what I have been reduced to. Damn you Dr Jon! Damn you and all your silly bike riding ideas! I spit in your general direction...

In a vain attempt to divert attention away from these shameful admissions I thought it was about time to do a roll call of my fellow 30ers:
Simon - Grant - Ali - Cris - Samuri - Jenn - Steve - Marty and dR jOn.

So go, go I tell you! And read their exciting tales of proper riding, on proper bikes, I don't need you anyway! I'll be here if anybody wants me, on the bottom of this barrel, under the big cloud of shame (sniff, snivel, scrape...)

Folder, bobble hat, trouser clip and dayglo wrist band. What a great image ! Still, it beats rollers and turbo trainers :)
