Had an early start/early finish at work yesterday so I planned to go out for a little ride down south in the afternoon as im really desperate to make the most of the weather and try to get back any little scraps of ‘fitness’ I had back before my last job sucked all my life away for the last 8 months.
Conditions were a bit muddy, weather was perfect, roads and bridleways quiet. The ‘ergonomic grandad grips’ as a mate called them, were nice for long road sections. The riser bars are really so much better for descending on the bumpy stuff and the big ol’ cassette meant that any depreciation in stamina was compensated for. But my body right now feels the same as it felt after riding double/triple the distance this time last year. Kinda sad, but also ya just gotta keep riding for fun and the legs will come back i guess.
Gonna make these few hour jaunts south after work a regular thing to help that along .
