Cycling for pleasure...in the midweek

[SuperHans123]

Most of the roadies I know put in 150 to 200 miles a week in winter.

Outside?
Or on the turbo trainer?

Went out last night when it was getting dusky, dark by the time I got home.
Did't go the full country road route as getting dark too soon, mostly stuck to the roads and shared cycle paths.
More cautious at night but really enjoyed it, planning more

The club I've started cycling with does a Thursday evening ride. I've gone a few times and I plan on heading out with them tomorrow as well. I occasionally extend my cycle home as well.

I very rarely ride for pleasure in the dark...with the exception of an organised night ride.

Might try it, in a warm evening on a quiet road it could be pleasant

I'm usually too cycled out from the commute to go back out, but my commutes are mostly a pleasure anyway

Me too. im knackered by the end of they day , especially this weather when i have spent 8 hours dripping in sweat anyway .

I am still doing at least one mid week workout and another on the weekend. That will probably change come the winter which is why I intend to squeeze as much out of the current day light as I can.

I get back home quite late during the week so I tend not to go out again unless riding to some social engagement. At the weekend in the winter, I go to Richmond Park after dark when it's closed to cars, and when the cycling hordes have gone home. Mainly deer and badgers for company. It's wonderful. You can't get up to reckless speeds on the steepest hills for fear of impaling yourself on a pair of antlers, but that's not much of a sacrifice really.
