Tarmac and Sunshine

At last the sunshine and longer days are with us. Time to get off the indoor trainer and out into the fresh air. Thoughts from the first outings

1 – 25mm tyres are the way. I’ve always used 23mm wide tyres but changing to 25s has made a big difference in ride comfort.

2 – It doesn’t matter how hard you work the trainer, it cannot replicate coastal crosswinds.

3 – It’s much easier to smile when you’re out in the sunshine 🙂

4 – I’m still rubbish at unclipping “clipless” pedals.

Training now needs to start in earnest as I need to get miles (and hills) into my legs.
