A Lake Goollelal Cycling Experience!

Living in Perth provides me with the opportunity to appreciate nature in several different ways, my current favourite of which being, cycling around Lake Goollelal. Last weekend, my friends and I took our bikes and cycled around the lake as a break from our IB studies. It took one hour to circle the lake twice and initially I found my cycling technique was effortless and calm, however as we progressed around the lake, my legs grew sore and although our pace was slow, I found myself becoming out of breath. I has never tried cycling for long distances, prior to this year, as I had always found easier ways of keeping fit and social, so this was a challenge for me. As our second lap of the lake drew to an end, I was exhausted. It took a lot of perseverance and effort, however it was definitely worth it. We were able to appreciate the view of the lake, get some exercise and socialise. I aim to continue cycling and hopefully develop my technique so that eventually, it will become less exhausting and much more enjoyable!
