Having been on holiday this week with ambitions of a great training week it all came apart when the wife handed me my ToDo list.
As it is the off season as such it seems prudent to allocate time to the jobs that have been ignored all summer.
By this morning I had to get out and with a masochistic need to make up for lost time decided that riding fixed into the wind should sort me out.
I went and did the 45km linlithgow loop, into the wind out and behind on the way back.
With a crisp 2oC temperature it was a great ride. I slogged my way out enjoying the simplicity of riding fixed into the wind. No gears to muck about with so just grind it out and do the work. It makes it sound miserable but the fixed just puts a smile on your face, forget about the bike and enjoy the ride.
The way back seemed so easy in comparison I could sit in my steady state heart rate and make it an all round great session.
Can’t wait until next time.
