Impressive to see how much cycling everyone is doing in winter!
My poor bike hasn't been touched for the last 10 days Still too much ice and snow, after two almost-falls on my last commute I decided to wait until the ice is gone from the bike lanes before trying again. And the indoor trainer I ordered two weeks ago still isn't here - apparently, the shipment got lost. Amazon's sending a new one, which will hopefully arrive in the next few days...1 -

Will you have a February challenge?0

Trying to stick to my Trainer Road plan. I have a hard time staying focused on indoor rides longer than an hour. How does everyone here avoid boredom?
Jan 2: 9.3 mi, 45min. Thunderbolt - TrainerRoad
Intervsls and being very specific in the ride also play maths games. If just ride aimlessly on the trainer very boring but if do intervsls and have to be in a correct zone for 10 minutes power or heart and cadence at a certain revs then easy 5 mins or what ever the intervals are. Having something to concentrate on helps a great deal0 -

A new challenge runs every month0 -
Starting to plan out the year ahead....
Will do my usual New Forest (100 miler in May) and Ditching Devil (128 miles in June) Audax events but if the Spring weather is kind and I get plenty of time outdoors I may change up the New Forest ride to the longer route that adds a loop of the Isle of Wight (124 miles).
There's a couple of unsupported long rides I want to do this year, one near Winchester and the other around the Trough of Bowland. Very tempted by a London - Paris ride for my first taste of foreign cycling.
Right now I've a bit of Christmas weight to lose and hitting the weights hard and training indoors on a Wattbike Pro in the gym and with my hybrid on a turbo trainer in the garage. Really looking forward to getting outside when weather improves.
76 miles so far this month, mostly indoors.
Added another 66 (indoor) miles this week.
Hope the weather improves soon as indoor training is getting dull.
Got a week's holiday coming up soon in Fuerteventura so I'm going to investigate bike hire while I'm there - don't tell my wife!
Week in Fuerteventura was good though! Had intended hiring a road bike but chatting to the bike hire shop owner convinced me to try some mountain biking for a new experience.
Good choice as it turned out. Explored volcanoes and a drop dead gorgeous coastal dirt/rock/gravel/sand road.
Also learned that the brakes tend to be reversed on the continent by locking the front on a fast descent when I thought I was squeezing the back brake - oops!
The main roads are well maintained, loads of dedicated cycle tracks and considerate drivers - that plus 21c temperatures made it biking heaven.
May turn out to be an expensive holiday as I feel I need a MTB in my garage now.
I used a Specialized Rockhopper - anyone have opinions on them or an alternative for a "doing it in the dirt" novice?
