I collected my first ever road bike today, it’s red.
Horrible conditions, few local trails and a lack of transport drove me to it. My fitness has dropped off quite badly since summer (when I finished training for the Mega) and I want to get back into things.
So, what should I be looking at doing to maximise my enjoyment/rewards of this strange, skinny beast?
I have a heart monitor at my disposal, just a basic Decathlon jobbie. I hear talk of heart rate zones and sprints and base training and all sorts, but I have no idea where to start.
In terms of targets, I just want to be fitter. That’s pretty much it. I will probably race a couple of the Gravity Enduros this year, but nothing too jey.
Cheers all
Andy
