Well, it should have been entitled “sporadic” winter training 2010. I’ve been riding at least a couple times a week this winter, but for the past couple weeks it has been quite sporadic.
I’ve missed the Texas Flyers Sunday group ride for the past 2 weeks (weather been sucking! Snow and hail; no foolin’!), but 3 weeks ago was a nice one.
There were only about 8 of us and we stayed together for the most part for the whole ride. I particularly enjoyed the steep hills that time. Dunno why. In particular, Hilltop Rd.—the steepest and scariest of all of them—was pretty darned fun. I sprinted out and charged up at top speed. You know, just to shame the “real” cyclists in the pack. Anyway, it was a fun ride and I look forward to better weather and a more regular attendance.
Still putting in 2 to 4 hours on Saturday and I get a couple odd 1 or 2 hour workouts on the indoor trainer during the week. I will be SOOOOO glad when there’s enough daylight in the evenings for me to head out on rides after work. C’mon daylight savings time!
Maybe after this weekend I’ll post a pic of Hilltop Rd. hill. It’s so fun.
