With the arrival of better weather in the UK, I’ve seized the opportunity to get back on my road bike and enjoy some solid rides. The warmer temperatures and longer days make all the difference, and I kicked things off with a fantastic 50km+ ride with Hurstworks, our local cycling club. We took a scenic route through Steyning, Poynings, and Henfield, soaking in the rolling countryside and fresh spring air.
Not one to let me take it easy, Lucy encouraged me to step up my training with some hill work. That meant a short but intense ride over Devil’s Dyke and back—a true test of the legs and lungs! Climbing may not be my strong suit, but the rewarding views and the feeling of accomplishment made every uphill grind worth it.
That was the weekend rides. We are also hoping to get out today - if not I might go for a run or jump in the garage for a strength set.
Beyond road cycling, I’m eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new Kinesis ATR gravel bike, due in early May. The prospect of more off-road adventures is exciting, and I can’t wait to explore new trails and push my limits in a different way.
Before then, however, I have another adventure lined up—a family holiday to Peru. While it won’t be triathlon training, I’m looking forward to plenty of trail walking and active exploring. With the diverse terrain and high-altitude treks, it’ll be a great way to keep moving and experience an incredible part of the world.
For now, I’ll continue making the most of the improving conditions and keeping the momentum going. Here’s to more miles, more climbs, and new challenges ahead!
