Winter Training in Scotland - Absolutely Miserable
Training is getting harder, managed 150 miles last week. The weather has been appalling for anyone never mind a cyclist. Very, very windy and wet. Still I have cycled 6 days out of 7 and on my rest day last week the wind was 80mph. Fed up putting so many clothes , socks and shoes on. 4 upper layers, 1pair shorts, 1 fleece leggings, 2 pairs socks-1 waterproof, 1 pair shoes and 1 pair overshoes. I keep warm, only my feet getting numb, but I am constantly covered in mud as is the bike. Fed up having to wash and lube it, every time I have been out, when all I want to do is get inside and relax. The joys of training in Scotland in winter. Hope it all pays off as I don't think I can do anymore
