It feels very much like since I returned to regular indoor riding, pretty much every time I’ve got on the bike it has been raining outside.
That’s been made even more noticeable today as I have been fortunate enough not to see rain for a good week now whilst I’ve been away on my holidays.
However because of the holidays I now have a big fat belly full of buffet food over indulgences to work off.
Also whilst on my holidays I did quite a lot of walking – way more than a standard sun lounger / pool holiday. So all that’s pretty good for keeping the buffet belly in check, but I did manage to twist my right knee when getting off a coach earlier in the week, and that came back to haunt me today.
Speaking of haunting, I know Halloween is almost upon us. I fully expected to see the Zwift Halloween theme / costumes out in full force today. Alas, no. Boo, how miserable.
Today I wanted to get in 1.5 hours of Zwifting. I picked a pace partner ride simply because riding with a bunch is more fun than riding solo, but I didn’t want to go too hard on my first ride back.
I managed just fine for the first hour, but once we passed the hour mark the knee pain came on quite suddenly.
Glad to have got the KM’s in anyway, but concerned as I wanted to do something very similar again tomorrow morning. Hopefully I get at least another hour in, if not the full 1.5 as planned.
The only other thing to report today was that I finally passed Zwift level 40.
Feels like I’ve been on that one a while… long way to go to 60 that’s for sure.
Also I guess I’m ready to do an attire change on my rider. I must remember to get that done before I set off tomorrow.
