Club ride to Malmesbury
After a week of being off the bike (as the photoshoot on Friday didn’t count), it was great to get out this morning for the regular club ride. I was a bit worried on the Saturday that there would be too much ice on the ground, but in the end it was a glorious morning […]
Calf still holding me back
It’s now January 17th and I figured my calf strain should have recovered sufficiently for a gentle jog this afternoon. Unfortunately, it turns out my right calf had other ideas.
