I’ve just clocked over 1000 miles since starting logging rides on Strava at the start of February. Depressingly though that is almost entirely commuting - looking back I’ve realised that I’ve only got out on 6 actual rides in the last two-and-a-half months. It’s not all my own fault; the weather hasn’t helped and I’ve had to work several weekends. But I certainly can’t be ready to race like I hoped to be at this time this year. I guess I can only hope that the weather has put everyone else in the same boat as me.
I’ll certainly have to lay off the weekend warrior drinking seasons and actually get riding from now on. At least now I’ve got a heart rate monitor my training will be a bit more structured and efficient.

It’s still sleeting but as far as I’m concerned winter is over now I’ve finally got the Canyon built
