Fixed wheel and LSD :mrgreen: (and the S stands for steady not slow :roll: ).

On a slightly more serious note what you plan to do over winter should have a relation to what you are planning to do next year, there can be no hard and fast rule as it would depend on your objectives.

I spent the whole winter doing LSD once-i've never been quite the same since :shock:

I wouldn't really advise doing it while riding a fixed wheel bicylce-thats just an accident wating to happen.

(Sorry its a slow afternoon :oops: )

I think you've started your training already Dan judging by the times I see you either heading out or back home :D

Hang in there Stu, remember its a long old season - plenty of time to be really fit for racing in the late spring and summer

Good thanks.

Plenty of lbp, some sprints sprinkled in for good measure, muscles buffing up nicely at the gym, and according to my guru, I've only just started!

:D :shock:

Lose a bit of weight -started already.

Take part in some winter races - start with Hillingdon on the 6th dec hopefully

Improve my endurance - get those miles in when and where I can.

Work on improving my sprint speed - Im no slouch but a bit more speed never hurt anyone.

Hibernate untill the warm weather - oh I wish.

Ahh......figures. Bet she is doing her rides at a really low HR, Toks :D

How do you get onto their forum - do you actually have to be a member with a membership number and everything, or is there an easier way to log in?
