Having taken up regular cycling six months ago, completing my first sportive in October, I am now struggling to keep cycling and I'm worried about my ability to maintain my fitness. I'm not a fan of cold,wet weather and even wrapping up so that I'm warm, fills me with dread!
Work and dark evenings are my main stumbling blocks. I'm not always at the same office, so get home at different times. As we get further into winter, I can only see the situation getting worse. I have managed a couple of thirty mile rides the last couple of weekends, but..........
Should I join a club and get the support of others? Should I get a turbo and peddle like a hamster? Or should I just persevere with the weekend rides, riding solo and try to maintain my fitness with some runs. Or maybe a combination of all of these.
Any advice would be very welcome, I feel there are pros and cons to all of these scenarios. Think I just need support from like minded souls. My wife just thinks I'm mad, exercise, in her mind is a four letter word!
