The Rack!!

When the weather is shit what do you do?

Well thats when plan b kicks into place and the turbo trainer gets dusted off and you retire to the shed .

Cyclists worldwide have affectionately nicknamed the turbo "the rack" not just because of its relentless nature but also because it can be mind numbingly boring!!

So as the weather has turned for the worst and riding on 23mm tires on icey roads isnt really an option i decided that my progressive session would be done on the the dreaded aforementioned.

Got to say though the hour i did went unbelievably well culminating in a full 5 minutes at race pace i saw 100rpm+ on the 12 sprocket and averaged over 450 watts so really pleased.

But beleive me the novelty will soon wear off so lets hope the snow and ice clear soon so i can get out where i belong....on the road!!
