Good for: Building fitness during cold winter months
Not so good for: Staying entertained
So let's do something different and start this blog with a question. What is wrong with this picture?
I can forsee many answers... Cycling next to a washing machine. Almost exposed arse. Weird laptop screen on top of washing machine. Cycling indoors. Taking a picture of all of the above. :P
But this is the reality of winter training when you live in the colder parts of Europe. To be a fair weather trainer is to not be much of a trainer at all. So you make the best of what you have. An indoor trainer, with a laptop for entertainment. Sometimes with a washing machine and a dryer for company. Always with towels and rugs to mop up the sweat.
But I don't complain (much).... It makes you stronger in your mind if you can race against nothing on a stationery bike. It is good value for time spent, because you don't have to worry about turns and traffic lights. Just get on the bike and get it done.
Happy days, roll on race season 2015!
