I’m still feeling very little temptation to cycle outdoors. It was grey earlier and then it started snowing again – aargh! At this rate, my first audax ride of the year in 2.5 weeks time is under threat. (That’s the Mini North-West Passage.)
So, instead, I did another 65 minute session on the exercise bike this [...]

The rain stopped just after midday and Lisa rang to see if I would like to go for [...]

I needed some exercise, but it was wet and gloomy here today so I decided to get back on the exercise bike again. I did a good steady 45 minutes to an old Hawkwind album (In Search of Space) and some Nirvana (Nevermind).
