Hi guys,
This summer I took up cycling after twenty years slouched on the couch and have made excellent progress getting up to about 150/200 miles a month with my longest ride being 40 miles. But then winter arrived with a thump. Rain, gale force winds and darkness have kept me off the bike for nearly all of November and I am thinking when there is a break in the weather and I have a chance to go for a ride I will have lost some of my progress. Also its difficult to motivate myself when its dark and wet. Have any of you guys done much cycling this winter, and if you can't get out on the bike how do you keep fitness levels up? The reason I ask is I want to go for my first Sportive next April and I need to be training for it.
