I haven’t been outside training on the bike for about 3 weeks now, and it’s driving me nuts. Am I just being a softie? I had all the right intentions when I took the Orange R8 up to the Lakes, but here’s what happened:
Going snowhere
To be fair, the trails up there were almost impossible to walk on without crampons, so I probably wouldn’t have spent much time upright on the bike. Even the local bike shop in Ambleside seemed to be discouraging customers from test riding bikes because of the conditions.
So the holidays are over, and it’s time to get pedaling (and peddling!) bikes again. We have a lot planned for this year, so I’ve decided not to race the BMBS (NPS) races this year. I’m going to try to stick to more local events, team events, and possibly more road.
Local races suits me fine, I will be back racing this year!! Friday night races and local stuff possibly midlands XC and some SAMS XC, Not too much road may do some TT as working tues & thurs eves now & of course some training on the black stuff. May even join NTCC!
