'Dale Posted September 4, 2012 Share Soon boss, soon. Do you work from home or an office? Im free some days during the week. Training is framed around League objecives now, Cippo. December is a ood opportunity to ride when it's a bit of 'downtime' from racing.

'Dale Posted September 10, 2012 Share Eish!This thread is quiet.No one riding their bike? Here's a lekka quote to boost your spring training: What I physically feel is the need for is fatigue. More precisely, the range of subtly different kinds of fatigue. For just as there exist a hundred ways of feeling good on the bike, there are a hundred ways of being tired.The fatigue I like best is that of trips in stages. When I’ve pedalled all day, fatigue hits me as soon my feet touch the ground. It accompanies me throughout the evening and back into the night. It’s both generalised and localised: pain in the thighs, pain in the back.In the morning I’m completely stiff, a rusty old wreck; I have trouble getting down the stairs. I mount my bike without strength, without desire, and pedal like an old robot.Ten kilometers later, that’s all wiped away. I feel good. I even feel better than the day before – repeating the effort improves your conditioning and makes you sharper.…I am always of the lookout for bouts of melancholy, a deep and hidden (to me) trait of my should, and I’ keep an eye out for loss of desire. I know that if I succumb to depression, it will start with a breakdown in my thighs. It will start with cycling sluggishness, and the rest will follow.
