After getting soaked, just turned one my bikes into a winter tourer with fenders.

Next week, dig out dvds and turbo trainer.

Buy cheap gym membership.

Missing: MTFU & waterproofs?

I just do the MTFU option as I dont have anywhere to put a turbo trainer. I would like one though.

Also, get some leg warmers. I got some cheapy £10 ones off ebay last year and they were awesome.

Been running but have to limit my miles to 3-6 as shin spints kick in.

Just going to have to put my bike on standby as soon as it stops raining I'm out there!

Being a wet pu$$y cat' when it rains 😳

Buy clothes and ride.

I think mudguards were irrelavent today? astually I feel a bit moby dick from all the rain water I've drunk today.

Winter is the time to get fit, all cyclists seem to come together over winter. You could do the turbo thing, but programes are better left for specifics.

Just my 2p

Yeah starting to get back on the bike, just random spins as base miles though i suppose, not really "training" properly yet.

MTFU and ride.

It's character building.

Apparently.

Like my Dad used to say when i bottled out of stuff, it'll do you good to go in the Army 😛
