Advent of Cycling – Day 20 – Serpentine 8

Whilst not quite the workout I had in mind, it is another hour on the bike and crucially, not too an intensive hour on the knees. One thing I really hadn’t factored in to 24 continuous days of cycling is just how physical stress it’s putting on my knee joints. I’m at the point where … Read more
