Thursday, one of my two special days each week. These are the days that I can train, and importantly I know I can recover my legs in time for whatever the weekend requires. It was a lovely 5deg C, still with damp roads that could be trusted. My usual training route has a mix of long drags and short sharp climbs that range between 60 and 180 seconds long. Superb training terrain. I rode the spare bike on mud tryres flat out to go round in 1.17.47, not bad when you consider that my fastest summer ride on a 16lb Trek Madone with carbon wheels, 23c tyres at 7.5bar and in shorts is a 1.08 at probably 23deg C.
On return, after I'd gathered myself, the bike got the order of the jet wash and now smells of 'winter fragrarence for men' (GT85).
