Hi everyone
Just to say that I should be signing up for L to B-just haven’t quite done it!
 
I am so unfit though, a change of career and winter is not a good mix! I am desperate to cycle again but get so cold, so signed up for a spinning class at the sports centre.
Have any of you done this? Rachel,Sam?
Well, never again! What a horrible way to cycle! The lights went done, the music blared and off we went! Only we didn’t ‘go’ anywhere! No view, no birds, no wobbles and no traffic- good and bad things to miss. I will just have to wait a bit longer for the weather to warm up and start training!
 
Hope to see you soon
Philippa

Dear flipper....
 
I read your email before going to work the other day and I'm afraid to say it tickled me immensely!
I envisaged you in raver white gloves a whistle and hi-viz jacket making some shapes in the training session!
 
I have been cycling to work where possible, but unfortunately I'm having a lot of painful knee problems so I'm going in bursts. I know it costs but I invested in some good gear including, thermal cycling tights...windproof gloves and waterproof cycling socks. Super snug and really make a difference in the cold. As you say cycling indoors is nowhere near the same as real cycling.
 
Alternatively, now that I have a new road bike I bought myself an indoor bike trainer stand for my old bike. You can buy them fairly cheaply on amazon. Again, it's not the same as cycling outside but quite a nice alternative to joining a class, you can train for as long as you like, listen to what you want etc...
Personally I like a morning spin in my living room on my indoor trainer with a cup of tea and a bit of Jeremy Kyle!!
 
Hope this helps!

Hi Fi
You are lucky to be able to cycle to work and it’s a good ride with hills o will be very fit now!1
I didn’t know about a stand for my bike so that would be a good compromise!
Have you got the skinny tights and bib thing as well? can’t imagine it!
Pub soon!  well maybe  while yet!
Just finished assignment and starting another.
Take care
