Fat Girl Fit

Be fearlessly unapologetically you

Category: Cycling

Flowers for valentines? Nah! Pink bike? Erm ok then!

Whilst everyone received flowers and chocolates at the weekend for Valentines I got a new shiny bike! When I say shiny its not actually shiny as it is matt black but you get the picture.  The best part?  It has pink on it and I do love me some pinkness in any way shape or form.

The cycle club I am part of, Romford CC, are lucky to have one of their sponsors be Yellow Jersey Cycles in Billericay and the gentlemen in there were kind enough to get me the new Trek Silque SL 2015.  It is my very first carbon bike and I am expecting it to double my speed and event times – is that not how it works?

Four of the ladies in the cycle club managed to secure places through the ballot for the Prudential Ride London event in August and this year it is all about the ladies!

So here she is my new little pink beauty:

The friendly bear in the background is Nate – much thanks to him and Dan at the shop for sorting my new bike for me!

I best get out pedalling then!

I have a phrase in my bio and on my blog - Be Fear I have a phrase in my bio and on my blog - Be Fearlessly Unapologetically You 🩷 inspired by the one and only Dolly Parton 🩷.There are many famous Dolly Parton quotes including this. Some of my favourites are:🩷’I’m not going to spend my life trying to be someone else’🩷’Find out who you are and do it on purpose’🩷’You are enough’🩷’You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try’🩷’Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life’.And of course if in any doubt, what would Dolly do?.#bemoredolly #dollyparton #fatgirlfit

In almost three years of living in Sweden we have In almost three years of living in Sweden we have seen one moose from a distance across a field, whilst driving..On our route back from a week exploring the West Coast we came via Eskjö and there is a Moose Safari there, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit!.There are approximately 3-400,000 moose in Sweden in the summer months, with numbers dropping by roughly 100,000 in the winter months.  The hunting is to control population, damage to forests and for safety as there are roughly 5,000 motor accidents involving collisions with moose.  The hunting is strictly regulated with strict dates and quotas that have to be adhered to..The moose park is over nearly 50 hectares of natural forest and woodland with the moose and deer roaming freely..Every day there are two safaris you can join on tractor led safari wagons.  The staff are super knowledgeable and cover everything in Swedish, German and English..I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! .#moose #skullarydmoosepark #sweden
