Spring cycling in Oxfordshire – on the way back from Stadhampton.
Last week in England was really good weather, it was the first ride of the year in shorts. After a long winter it’s great to see some good weather for a change. When the weather is good, there’s always part of me itching to get our riding; it becomes painful to have stay inside teaching economics. Who needs a training camp in Mallorca when you have weather like this? However, as I write this post on Sunday for Tues publication, I wouldn’t be surprised if the weather has changed by then.
I’ve been having small discomfort in the knee, so I’ve been riding alternate days. When I do ride I’m generally training hard. Last Wednesday I cycled 55 miles which included 3 long hills riding as fast as I could. I’m also doing a few 10 mile time trials (timed by myself). I’d like to spend more time just riding the bike. My teaching term finishes at the end of the week and I will take the bike up to Yorkshire where (knee willing) I will be able to have long training week of 300 + miles.
