Time for Training

Since completing an adequate on-and-off season of cycling, it felt right to have a brief cake binge and a sit down. This new found laziness lasted a mere few hours, before being replaced by the beginning of my winter training season. High frequency, high volume, low intensity training is supposedly the way to do it. Low intensity? Takes a while to get used to after hillclimb training, but prolonged efforts of moderate spinning become quite enjoyable after some time. An occasional sprint is part of the session, just for smiles, but the milage is what it's all about.

Lighting was a different issue entirely, though. Obviously natural light is out of the question nowadays, even 5 o'clock is a time of darkness, so using the headlamps of passing traffic and the glow of rare streetlights became a quickly acquired skill.

All fun, and all is well.
