Morning folks and congrats to mo on her win Shall spin indoors today thats for sure, its safer! i signalled to a van driver to slow down the other day because of the ice, he ignored me and sped through...wonder he didnt end up in the loch..
I wish the trainer could generate heat i'd have greater motivation to turn the pedals!

I have risen!

Feel rough. Gigged at the Royal Oak in Blisworth last night and didn't get into bed u til 2am.

Think I may have a cold as I've a headache, I'm a bit stuffed up, and one of my eyes aches and is bloodshot (I can see just fine) so one Bruce is walked it'll be a Q day at home for me.

no chance I'm going outside yet - far too cold

Wundermap says its -3 at the nearest private weather station - which is only 1/2 a mile away s- that'll be it

I think its just the pic angle. Ive had a play with seat height recently and think its about optimum, i can just touch the floor on tippy toes, any higher and my legs would be locking out at end of stroke!

Looking forward to getting started on my Wattbike when it arrives. I think being able to use Zwift will make all the difference. You can even tackle some of the famous climbs. That's for when I get my cycling legs back but it'll be easy zone 2 rides for the first few weeks I think. It'll be good doing some of the routes then trying them again and trying to improve my time. I need things like that to keep my motivation.

I have just splashed out on 3 pairs of thermal socks for Marks and sparks, and a thermal pair of fingerless gloves from Amazon. I know how to splash the cash
