Its that time of year when I change from riding my Specialized Allez Winter bike and start riding my Trek Madone Summer bike.
The Trek has spent six months during the winter in the garage so one of the first things I need to do is give the Di2 battery a good, solid charge.
Sadly, my 2017 cycling season has not gone quite to plan. With one thing and another, my level of fitness is nowhere near where I would like it to be at this time of year. Fortunately, I have not had a complete lay off from the bike and my fitness has been ticking over. On sunday the 30th April, I had planned on riding the Isle of Wight Randonne; a 110km ride around the Isle of Wight in the south of England. Unfortunately, I feel that my currently level of fitness isn not sufficient to do the whole event but it may be up to completing the shorter, 55km route.
If you would like to follow my efforts on the bike you can follow me on Strava. My profile is here: / strava
