'Dale Posted July 23, 2013 Share Personal best yesterday on my road bike. Broke a barrier I have been targeting for years. Hopefully it will last to summer. Excellent!

ChUkKy Posted July 23, 2013 Share Im lazy in winter, Im allergic to cold... so much so that it causes severe bitching and whining Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/127406-how-is-your-winter-training-progressing/page/8/#findComment-2001227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 23, 2013 Share I am still steady with 2-3 rides over 7-8 hrs per week. Nurturing my 6 month old son and what goes with that leaves me getting to the top of the climbs a little slower than usual though.

NotSoBigBen Posted July 23, 2013 Share Been struggling a bit with the early morning rides, always end up with a post nasal drip (well pretty much blocked nose as well at night) and within a day or 2 a sore throat . Fortunately I can ride at lunchtime but it's a bit of a bummer as my boet can only ride before work, well more for him than me Anyway gonna ride at lunchtime in the week the next 2 weeks then only start the weekend morning rides about 7 and see if it clears and is better. Still been managing Ok though and maintaining at least a bit of fitness so hopefully when summer eventually gets here I'm good to go ....
