Ride Description:

As I have moaned and groaned on previous blog posts I am still working long hours and still not able to get in cycling training. I have continued with strength training, which is my primary training. I went into work for a few hours, which was a benefit to let the air temperature rise up to what felt like a really chilly 50 degree (F). Suited up in a summer kit, leg and arm warmers and the light Sportful ultra light vest I was content to leave it all on during the ride.

It was great to dust off the LOOK road bike and go for this short out and back ride. Certainly I was feeling the lack of fitness and struggling on even the slightest inclines. Oh well...shrugs...I am hoping after this next submittal I can return to near normal work hours and start training again.
