Indoor sprint!

The winter weather having set in in a major way recently, it is perhaps no surprise that the blog has suffered a lack of entries - me being a bit of a fair weather rider after all. Did get back on a bike briefly yesterday as part of a fund raising Crawlathon (in Crawley!) but indoors on bikes kindly lent by Evans Cycles. It was a team event and I did a 10km stint as part of the 45km cycle part of the triathlon event, averaging around 48kph. Quite a creditable speed, but nothing on one chap who did the whole 45km on his own in a superb time of 50 minutes. Prior to the ride I had also done a 850m stint in the swimming event - my real speciality!
I must get out on the bike when I have some time over Xmas, I realise I am missing it. Maybe a winter sportive?!
