Fun in Birmingham?

So the past week has marked the start of my structured winter training. There have been plenty of long rides on the road back to back. It is a bit of a shock to the system, and I am certainly feeling it this week. The first block of training always hurts while my body gets used to it. It seems a long way off riding for 5h back to back for days on end, but there’s plenty of time.

At the weekend I took a trip to Birmingham for some riding with local Dan Treby, Rich Rothwell and Neil Halcrow. The pace was high, legs slow and trails amazing. Check out the video...
