Elite Indoor Cycle Training
/in Blog Post, Cycle Trainers, Fitness, Health, Health and Lifestyle, Kit Reviews, Lifestyle, Robert Thorpe, Technical Accessories, Technical Kit, Training /by Pedalnorth WebsiteI like a challenge – I’m still a competitor at heart.

Yes, I can go out into the smaller hills in my local National Park, the Dales. They’re truly beautiful, but the winter is coming. Yesterday we had snow! My wife’s parents sent a picture of it.
Yes, I’ll be back onto the rollers again I guess, spinning away and wiping away the sweat, as I try to retain my legs in readiness for spring or a crisp winter day. It won’t give me the strength though, just the stamina, which as a former distance athlete God or my parents already gave me.
