With temperatures dipping way below freezing is it a good idea to go out riding in these conditions? My view, probably not unless you have to, for example getting to work. At this time of the year a stiff walk 3.5-4mph or run (if your’e used to this form of exercise) is a better idea if you want to get out in the bracing fresh idea.

It’s my intention to become a more all round coach and feel the need to get qualified in coaching track cyclists. Having been a track cyclist myself for many years starting off at the now defunct Paddington Track in West London when I was a teenager. I’ve riiden quite a few of the outside tracks…
Only 16 days and few hours to go to the http://humanrace.co.uk/events/cycling/chiltern-100-sportive What with one thing and another not totally prepared but aiming to ride round in less than 8 hours. It will be a long and hopefully enjoyable day.
