Hello. Biked into Preston

Hello. I biked into Preston. Actually, I walked about half of the journey there because of the big hill and lots of traffic. Well, I haven't ridden my bike for about a year, have never ridden on a main road, have never ridden on my own, and it's five or six years since I did cycling proficiency to learn about cycling on the road, and they never taught me how to deal with crazy roundabouts or insane junctions.
Coming home was good though. It takes about half an hour to walk it, and I made it in under ten minutes, and didn't do that much peddling. Went from the top of the hill, over the bridge and through the traffic lights and halfway on to the Yew Tree without peddling. Twas good. Tired now though, which is probably a combination of getting up at ten past six for no apparent reason and also all the cycling...
