The frosty charm of winter cycling

4 01 2009

Just returned from an easy, 35k bike ride, my first since October 2008. To quote the mighty Edmund Blackadder (4:57 mark), my training session

started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better, but apart from that, excellent!

I had a flat, battled head winds, nearly froze my fingers off and my newly installed Polar speed sensor didn’t transmit my cycling data to my RS800cx wrist unit. On a more positive note though, the Endura Road overshoes I purchased at wiggle.co.uk are an excellent piece of kit.
