It was with much smugness that I fitted snow chains under a motorway bridge on the way to work this morning (Tuesday) and then promptly weaved my way past countless people stuck on hills on the approach to Altrincham where I work.
However, more annoyingly, like many people, my training is being affected by this cold weather forcing me on to the turbo trainer more and more. I also have two events coming up, a Dark and White MBO score event on Sunday in the Peak District and the Strathpuffer 24hr race in Inverness the following weekend.
Will they be onn and will I be able to get there ? I don’t fancy 24hrs on a turbo trainer 😉
its all about stodge, bikes, MTBO and the outdoors
A very good smugness score, however for a better smugness score is cycling eight miles to work and on arriving to work finding that people that live less than two miles from work don’t come in.
Techincally only 12 hours on the turbo, although come to think of it I’m not doing the other 12 so you’re right.
‘Puffer will be on. You’ll not get away with it that easily 🙂
Was epic in 2008 with sheet ice, looks like 2010 could top it. Apparently 18-20″ on the course at the moment, plus probably a dump last night.
We got another 9″ in Selkirk last night (was great fun riding whilst it was happening!), and every road out of town is currently closed.
My ‘Puffer race partner is currently in Perth, Oz, and has got his dates wrong.
I may yet be a solo……. gulp.
