Back on two wheels

Since I have been focusing on running I’ve barely ridden my bike.  Often only once a week for the last two months, aside from fixie commuting.  Each week I’ve noticed a gradual reduction in cycling fitness, and my average heart rate steadily climbed.  Since the Onehunga run, I haven’t run – in fact I can’t!  My physio banned me from running as I have peroneal tendonitis which is going to take at least 4-weeks to heal.  I can’t stand the thought of getting unfit so this week I threw myself back on the road in the rain and hail.  I don’t mind winter riding too much.  It used to bug me racing in the rain, wet and cold.  In fact it turned out to be the reason I flagged winter club racing.  That was when I had to train in the rain.  Now there is more choice in it.  I want to train in the rain because I want to ride my bike.  Same weather, different attitude.
