Not a good day for outdoors.. Probably not get out until the weekend, so it's indoors for the rest of the week..

It's tough doing turbo training Richard, I would rather brave the elements whenever possible rather than sit there sweating

It's definitely tough.. but the Sufferfest videos do help get you through it.. Though nothing beats the road.. Unless it's hurricane season at the weekend, it's a 30+ mile run on Sat morning.

I did an hour at the velodrome this morning (Tuesday) and have another booked for Wednesday. Great way to keep the fitness level up through the worst of the weather

Need to sort some velo sessions out.. We managed to pick up some cheap spin bikes (don't ask!) and they're working a treat on the cold nights, just need to remember that you can't freewheel on them, nearly got thrown off first go lol

Static spin bikes?


Managed to see some blue skies on today's ride, makes for a pleasant experience...


Extra points if you know where it is
