Where you at?
I m still cycling away. Only on Zwift no more outdoors since the crash. I m putting my effort into BikeClimbs.com instead of here. See you there or not 🙂

Rush Job
Another straightforward, short ride today. I went for the Sweet Spot session just to mix things up from doing tempo yesterday. When it got to the end of this one I couldn t help myself to stay on and finish the last ~1km of the lap, so I managed to do slightly over 30 minutes which ... Read more
Craving Fresh Air
A steady tempo session was the order of the day today. I m finding these shorter sessions really rather frustrating currently, but my time slots are what they are. I could either ride before work or after work, but neither appeal. I prefer my lunch time rides. I d say mentally I m in a better state to ... Read more
Just A Grind
I didn t do a session on Saturday, opting instead to go for a nice countryside walk. The reasons are what I ve covered previously, which are that getting some fresh air is preferable to spending yet more hours in front of the computer. Such are the hazards of riding solely indoors. However, after Thursday s ride last ... Read more
The Corner Of My Eye
It s been hard work adjusting to the new routine shorter lunch breaks, shorter rides, busier days. One thing I m finding is that when riding now, I have the work laptop open, and I can see message (after message, after message) arriving on Slack as I ride. All queued up and waiting for my perusal ... Read more
Feeling A Bit Brighter
Another straightforward session today. In some ways it is frustrating to do shorter sessions, at least once under way it can be annoying to have to stop at 30 minutes. But the reality is right now that I m time pressured. Hopefully that will change over the next ~4 weeks, but I kinda doubt it. Some ... Read more
Thirty Short Fast Minutes
I think the trick right now is to do something. Whilst 30 minutes on the bike is not going to do that much, it s still better than 30 minutes sat in front of the TV. That s the mindset I went in to this ride with. And truthfully I think that s where I m going to be ... Read more
Going Through The Motions
It s been a couple of weeks since I was last on the bike. That’s not to say I haven’t been active—I’ve just chosen to walk instead of cycle. The reason for that is fairly straightforward: when it comes to cycling, I currently can t leave the house. That’s partly a personal choice, whether for safety or ... Read more
Training Peaks Virtual – Base Camps
I think it s fair to say that after this ride, I m extremely tired. It s the longest ride I ve done in quite a while. I m not entirely sure how long ago it was that I last rode for more than an hour, but recently my rides have been around the 45-minute mark. This ride was almost ... Read more
The “Hard To Tell Who Was Bots” Race
My plan for today was racing. I was going to do my own race like I did last time. An advantage of Training Peaks Virtual is the ability to set up your own on-demand races and fill the field with bots. Today, I saw an upcoming race on the list that was racing the Coastal ... Read more
