Spring

Spring is approaching. The weather is showing some serious signs of inviting people out of basement hibernation and out on to the grit-ridden roads. There really is nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting out the door for the first time in a year. The first time you don't feel the dreaded first half mile of chills. The first time you can enjoy the warmth of the sun on your exposed skin. Be it running, biking, walking or skipping, there is something truly special about getting out that door the first warm(ish) day when you live in a cold climate.

That day is expected tomorrow. The jacket may be needed for a bike, but the sun will be out and the sky will be blue. Better check the ole tires and make sure there are a couple of spares in the bag.

It's the familiar territory  of the re-finding all the roads from last year, remembering the great joy of being out of the basement and back on the roads. Something the people of California know very little about!

Soon we shall all be complaining about how it's too hot to go out and nursing all our sunburns. Yin and yang.

Feeling a little fatigue today. Sleepy and lacking motivation (hence the blogging and little riding). Reading a good book which should pass the time. "Waterlogged" by Dr Noakes. Worth a look and goes a long way to dispelling the illusion of the sports drink industry. Recommended!

Another good recommend is Trainerroad.com Self explanatory. Take look and learn how to save a ton of money on a power meter by using a virtual power read out. Good for the basement rides. Doesn't work on the open road, unless of course you have already spent $1000's on a power meter. Good luck to you if you have!

Good luck to us all!
