Resorting to the mountain bike

Two days after seriously displeasing my ankle on the Llanberis hills I didn't want to run yet. Not even a short run. But I also did not want to turn into a complete potato. So it was time to get my old creaky mountain bike out of the garage! I am never quite as keen on that as I am on running. But it's the best I currently have.

I did a variation of my standard loop. It is not very long! And it is only 260 m up. That is a lot less than my commute, which is 420 m up. But then again, my commute is on the road, on a faster bike, and even then it tends to take me 1.5 hours. I did not want to spend that amount of time on it today.

It was beautiful weather and it went well. So it's something! And I am still doing my ankle exercises. I hope I can be back in these hills on my feet soon!
