I feel guilty. I never meant for this to happen, but I just can’t help it. I’ve fallen in love and when true love hits you, there’s very little you can do about it.

So I’d better set the scene so you can better understand what’s happened. I’m in Spain and I’m here for one of Fitness 12‘s cycling retreats. The retreat is based at La Manga Club, just an hour of so from Alicante, just a couple of hours flight from London. Over the course of 3 days F12CYC retreats offer some awesome rides around the surrounding hills, core training and all important but mostly neglected in my case, stretching. Its all tied together in a beautiful setting and a great team of people both running and partaking.

Bikes are available to hire locally, at Biking La Manga and so, just to make life easier I opted to go with this option and leave my Principia at home. This, is where the trouble started…

… box fresh, light as a feather, sparkling in the sunshine, the Dolan Hercules SE is simply beautiful and I knew immediately, this is the bike I’ve been waiting for all my life.

Fourty-five miles later and I’m awestruck but its not just by the scenery and perfect riding conditions. I feel twinges of guilt as I fleetingly remember my Prince, quietly sat waiting at home. Post-ride while putting my legs through 3 rounds of ice-bath and hot plunges in the spa I’m already thinking about our next ride. Sixty-five miles of highs and lows with my one true love. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.
