I’ve been doing a big country loop solo on my days off. Trying to get base miles and evaluate my comfort on the bike and how happy my drivetrain is (or isn’t) with the 2 chain waxing system I am using on both my road bikes. The repetition of eating an apple, a banana and a cliff bar while out on my ride gives some structure and sustenance to my 2.5-3.5 hour loop.
Temps are mostly in the 40’s lately but gradually moving into the 50’s now. I’m wearing my Fizik Arctic winter cycling boots with Merino wool socks which really helps me stay out there longer.
