Training for the Trip

The major variable of the trip is of course my fitness and that so far has become the major issue for me at the moment. Getting hold of the hardware is easy , you just buy it or borrow or whatever. The only way to up the fitness is to get out and ride every day rain or shine and I am very lucky in that respect as I can choose to cycle to work over the hill. But that’s where I am finding it a problem as when I look out the window at 5 in the morning and its blowing a “Hoolly” I sneak into the car and off I go another day only 1 day. That’s where I am going to have to motivate myself some how, some how. A now the ground is covered in snow so the inclination to go out is even less. it's looking as though as I will have to go to that horrrible place... Sweatshop ... otherwise known as The Gym. At least the new wheels have arrived
