The weather is rubbish

It’s been an interesting weekend. I went cycling on Sunday and did about three hours in the saddle. My bottom feels extremely un-sore, which is a good indication that I am doing the right thing. Or is my bottom getting harder?
The journey over the Runcorn Bridge was extremely cold; the wind chill factor was horrendous, I couldn’t get across fast enough. There were a couple of brave souls walking across the bridge and taking photos, good on you. I think I may have mentioned it before but I hate the wind, it always goes in the opposite direction to the one I am riding, or so it seems. However it does make for excellent training, my legs were burning by the time I’d finished my ride.
I didn’t go riding this morning because the roads were very icy. It’s scary enough with the traffic without the ice to contend with. I went for a run instead, the first time for ages. I need to do more, I was knackered. I’m just hoping that my big toe won’t play up…. arthritis and middle age, don’t go there. I need to vary my exercise regime, any ideas? Obviously the weather has not helped but I’m hoping that it will improve shortly…I’m running out of excuses not to train, only kidding…. a psychologist with beg to differ.
I went for a short ride tonight, the weather was rubbish but just felt like getting out. I was passed by a carload of idiots who found it hilarious to lean out of the car widow as they passed and tried to scare me by shouting. This is a regular occurrence for cyclists and would you believe it…. not particularly funny. I hate to be gender specific but it is always lads, normally in a small car that is always overcrowded, usually five or six morons who’s idea of a fun night out is to shout one syllable comments like hey or wow to a cyclist…. get a life.
We are filming for the next ‘spoof’ cycling video this week so it should be on the web site next week, don’t forget to have a look.
