I know that when the nights are dark we all look forward to getting out on our bikes at the weekend. However, you need to exercise caution. At least five of my friends and clients have now come off their bikes in the last few weeks, due to icy patches on the road. Some of the injuries have been quite nasty.
It's all well and good wanting to get in the miles and build your aerobic base. But if you come off then those extras few miles mean nothing while you recover from injury. My advice is don't go out if the temperature gets below 5 degrees C. Even when it's sunny, it only takes a sheltered little corner to create carnage.
If you structure your workout correctly you can achieve as much on your turbo in an hour as you can on the road in two and a half. Contact me on rob@superflytri.com for details!
