Subject: First bike ride of the year Wow - a mini heat wave (14 degrees) and some sunshine. Too good to resist so I sneaked out in my lunch break and grabbed a 40 min cycle around the villages close to home - my first outdoor ride since I got into this tri stuff again at the end of last year. All that TT work paid off as i didn't expire, but I'd forgotten how much tougher the road is to the trainer. The sun in my eyes, wind in the face and surprising rabbits and other wildlife on country lanes reminded what what a great experience this is as well as a means to tri success - especially when you live in the country like me. Cant wait to get back out there again! I knew I was right to sign up for the 54 mile charity ride in June........ |
