Our usual training rides are literally underwater and the early rides we were booked onto have been cancelled due to rain. This has meant we’ve had to be a little more inventive with our training routes. I got the OS map out and had a look at where the steepest country lanes around me were so that although it’s on road we were at least getting some decent hill work in in lieu of good ground.
I was pleasantly surprised with the route we chose and really enjoyed a change of scenery so it may become a more regular occurrence to scout out new locations and not be too lazy to actually go and ride them rather than the same old easy and close rides we always do.
