Week 1 of my training went pretty well. I did 40K on Tuesday. It was a bit chilly, 7 degrees and cloudy with NNW winds, but with enough layers on I felt fine. It was certainly nice to get out in the fresh air.
The forecast for Thursday looked a kind of shaky, so I did my second ride on Wednesday. Just slightly warmer at 8 degrees, and the wind pretty much the same. I don’t usually ride 2 days in a row, but you have to take advantage of the weather.
Saturday was another 40K, but at 12 degrees and sunny felt absolutely balmy. There was still a bit of a breeze, but this is PEI, and I don’t expect to ride without some wind.
So, after 1 week of riding, I’m right on target. Some heat would be nice, are you listening Mother Nature?
