New targets

Back in the car today, have lots of work to do so really can't afford as short a day as I get when I cycle. I would ride home in the dark but the fog at the moment is intense. I nearly got wiped out 3 times last night on the way home (2 different builders vans and a big beemer), scary stuff.
My new target is to ride in at least once a week. Until the daylight picks up, that'll have to do sadly. I'm climbing two nights a week and riding off road one night a week (plus weekends) as well as running at least once a week. Hopefully that lot should keep me in shape til the days get longer..

Finally

Cycled in this morning. Absolutely freezing, but I was well wrapped up. The only real problem was my ankles getting really cold (I usually wear trainer liners instead of socks). I might have to get some wooly socks for the winter..

Blimey I'm rubbish

I blame the lack of cold weather gear, but really it's just a lack of motivation. We've had nearly a week and a half of the nicest cold crisp winter weather, and I haven't ridden to work once. Tomorrow is the day though, and this time I mean it..

Drove today too...

..and the weather is lovely and dry. Bugger.

A terrible record

Didn't bike in at all last week, and drove in this delightful monday morning too.. Hopefully work pressures will back off a bit now and I can get back to it. Rode off road sunday and went for a run on saturday (training for the Tough Guy in jan).

Bad week for cycling

I've not cycled in at all this week so far, and given committments for the next few days, can't cycle in until friday. Not happy about it, feeling fatter already.

On the bus today

This week has seen me do the least cycling of any week since I got back from Africa. One day's cycle commuting and no evening or weekend rides, shocking. Next week is looking pretty mental workwise too, hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in a few pedals though.

Commuter jacket works

Finally got back on the bike today, despite miserable weather. Luckily my new commuter jacket kept me lovely and warm/dry all the way to work. Result.

Drove every day this week so far

The weather has been terrible and I've been ill. Hoping to be back on two wheels tomorrow though.
