Today was (still is, actually) horrible. Rain, wind, pretty much the same as the rest of you have had. No chance of getting out for anything resembling a ride, so spent the afternoon tightening some very loose spoke on the rear wheel then making sure I hadn't taken it out of true. Looks like a job well done so far, but the test will be tomorrow when I take the bike out for the first run of the year. Hoping to get about 25 miles, all being well, but might well end up going further as I've not really bothered planning a route.
Sometimes it's nice to just turn down the roads that look most interesting, rather than pre-plan everything.

In view of the rubbish weather and it being a New Year, hubby and I decided to do a turbo session in the garage together. Just did a YouTube 20 min HIIT session, but with extra warm up and cool down added. Worked out ok, there was just enough room for us both to do it at the same time. Was hoping to get an outdoor pedal session today before work but nodded off after the alarm so may not have time now.
Happy New Year everybody. Happy new cycling x

@Phoenix Lincs At least you have had a workout of some sort. I think I will probably just do my shortest loop on the mtb this morning. The roads will still have lots of standing water after yesterday's rain and the poor dog didn't get her afternoon walk yesterday so will be desperate for a good stretch this morning.

Sounds like it will be painful Bob.....I am not sure we want to know
In fact, I think I have just worked it out....high intensity interval training......definitely not for me at the moment!

Yes it does. You can also pause (top right button) the route part way through if needed and then let it go to 'sleep' (don't power down manually though). If you want to resume said course, (power up if it is asleep, select ride) and then resume. Remember though that you need to pause your course/ride at the end and press save though - otherwise it will not save it.

I know. I certainly don't make a habit of it. I had a splitting headache and it was absolutely chucking it down all afternoon and I just couldn't face it. Just heading out with her now. Hope she forgives me!

Sometimes it is a little shorter if really foul, but his energy level indoors builds up if he hasn't been out.
He soon reminds me if I am late!
After the Christmas lay-up it's time to get back in the saddle.
