Cycling gains

[sawyl]

I'm quite pleased with my initial attempts to supplement my running with cycling. I've only had a few moments of muscle fatigue, mostly due to taking Gibbett Hill at an over-enthusiastic pace, and, so far at least, my stamina seems to be holding up well over the sorts of short distances I've been doing.

Hopefully, once my parents return, I'll be able to persuade pater to help me adjust the saddle on his road bike, which currently seems to be seized at a height far to high for me, and I'll be able to use that instead of the folder — although, I suspect the Brompton is probably a rather good training bike, with its small wheels and smaller gear range.

so when you going to work on the upper body?

I think I'm going to re-read the entirety of Sandman in the Absolute editions. That should be enough to cause me to bulk up to Charles Atlas proportions in no time...

You'll be happy to learn that I've now begun working on my upper body: carrying 20kg of stuff back on the train yesterday seems to have put my right shoulder out. But I guess it's a start, isn't it?
