I have final admitted to myself that winter has arrived. The ice warning has been activated a few times on the car, we where up at the Dam for bonfire night and there was a hail storm. I have conceded that I will not be able to test the sailing canoe anymore and so sailing on the river is not sensible.

So following a great holiday in Northern Ireland have decided that mountain biking will be my get outside activity. I have been doing spin classes for a couple of months now and the ride is comparable with the spin class however though I did not physically have any issues I had to work hard to keep my ticker below 152bmp and out of the red. Anyway posting the ride to see how I improve over the winter.
