Memorial Day weekend crowds and imminent arrival of a rather unfavorable weather front made me decide not to take my bicycle on the open road today. However as this is the start of another “goal” week and the likelihood of rain is high for the entire week, I dusted off the stationary bike and “set out” on my first journey of the week.

Heading my way today.

Clocking 1 hour and 15 minutes of cycling time (whilst going nowhere) I do, at least, feel that I accomplished something towards my weekly goal of 50 miles. Indeed, on the road, an hour and a quarter would take me around 13 miles and so that is what I have fed into my “MapMyRide” app to start the weeks’ training.

During this session I watched a YouTube video, courtesy of the Global Cycling Network (GCN), which made me quite nostalgic for Bonnie Scotland. The North Coast 500 is a step too far for me nowadays (actually I’d say, realistically, 400 miles too far) but it was certainly inspirational – link below.
