About Pat
I have had my first bike ride.
I fit The Swytch Kit to my hybrid and I am now setting up some rides to build strength and stamina slowly
I had three hearts attacks whilst out on a 20 mile off roader in August 2022
If had a tick list of 100 things that could happen to me "heart attacks" would NOT have been on it.
I was treated to a triple bypass operation in October 2022
I got back to the Gym in February 2023. However i was warned NOT to ride my bike. I was absolutely gutted, my bike is my happy place. I cried like a baby
If things couldn't get any worse in 2023 Well They DId. I was diagnosed with "Heart Failure"
However it is July 2024, I have converted my much love Boardman Hybrid into an E-Bike. Wow please don't knock them. I am back off roading and even some road rides.
My message to any and all of you beautiful people DO NOT GIVE UP
Thank you Komoot.com for a brilliant app I love it to bits
Not bad for a wrinkly hehe

Chilly but very sunny walk from Lemonroyd Marina to Woodlesford and back. Visiting Claires Shanti Tea Boat for coffee and a bacon butty. We had to queue but always worth the wait. Homemade cakes ground coffee and multi selection of Teas. What is there not to like She will soon be traveling to Altofts and Stanley Ferry Marina

A lovely meander around York today. We went to see the Van Gogh exhibition in the old St Martin Le Grand a mainly 15th Century church Had hot mulled wine in the Three Tuns. Tuns. most commonly refers to large casks for liquids or a historic unit of volume We also had to take a look at the Minster. There is still a large amount of scaffolding and covering on the outside

A very nice but chilly day around the dam. Not much wildlife to photograph. However the highlight of the day was seeing a Kingfisher as we crossed the bridge. Very fast but you cannot mistake those beautiful colours
