Highs of Zero

Right then. Outdoors reached a sub-tropical zero degrees centigrade here in Preston today, so I saw sense and stayed indoors. Apparently it’s supposed to reach 2c overnight – so literally warmed in the dead of night than during midday. What the actual, right?

Anyway, I wanted to do something, but that something wasn’t going to be anything that put any great pressure on my legs. If I’d have been outside I’d have taken a meandering easy ride. But indoors I opted for Tempus Fugit (I think it’s called) which is largely flat, and in the hour I had, I managed two laps.

To be honest, I am really disappointed at not getting outdoors today. But on the plus side, tomorrow it’s supposed to reach 6c, which by comparison to recent days is really warm. I’m glad I didn’t bother going out today as 30 minutes in, a snow storm blew in from somewhere, and at roughly the mid-point of my ride, I’d have definitely been caught short.

Hoorah for indoors, right?

Aside from that, not a great deal to report today. Just a few kilometres on the legs, keeping myself loose. At this point I’m looking to switch platforms, so tomorrow I’m going to get The Sufferfest installed, I think. And maybe RGT Cycling. I’m going to drop my Zwift sub for the first time in ~2 years, and try out something else. I think I need to go hardcore and just get it done, otherwise I’m going to dilly-dally for ages and keep finding excuses.

Anyway, outdoors early doors tomorrow, all being well. Then a nice lovely hearty steak filled meal for my tea. I’ve been out and got my wine and cake ready, just need the main course now. Might even do some home made yorkies. Oh yes.

And don’t forget, pancake day this coming week, so extra miles required to make up a calorific deficit.
