MMM, bike shorts
By
Cycling is an insidious and evil activity. In the past week I’ve gone from “I hate cycling” to “I don’t really like cycling” to “I guess cycling’s alright”. After last weekend’s effort I complained about sore sit bones, and my lovely wife offered to buy me some proper cycling shorts as an early Christmas present, I’ve been wearing running shorts which unsurprisingly don’t work very well.
Today my new shorts turned up today and they are size M for medium and they fit well, possibly a little on the baggy side. I decided to take them for a spin around the airport, a 33km loop, and I have to say they make a huge difference. Today’s ride went quite well, altho slightly slower than Sunday’s effort but overall I’m pleased with it all.
I’ve been doing a bit of weight training lately, which I can already feel the results of but I’m a little cautious of over training right now, so today had to be a cardio day otherwise my arms may have fallen off.
Tomorrow I’m going to hit the weights again, currently aiming for some sort of activity every day until Christmas. Hopefully my calf will be healed by then and I’ll be able to run again.
