A windy day in Paris

This will have to begin somewhere in the middle of a story of indeterminate length, which is rather like finding yourself watching a film that has been running for a good half an hour already. We will have to catch up with everything as we go along; the training plan, the riding, the bike(s), myself, and all those everyday things in the life of a cyclist.

The run of very windy days is continuing here in Paris, the wind map site is suggesting its 35kmh Southerly out at the airport at Tussous le Noble, so after the hard windy session on Saturday I am going to have a spin on the indoor trainer this morning. I am still tired from the weekend, 80km on Saturday, 65km on Sunday, and a 40 minute recovery session on the trainer yesterday. However, this is the last week of the first Build 1 session in the training plan, and so I still need to ride another 7 hours of good training this week to make up the 10 scheduled.

I’ll come to the training plan soon, as well as the goals for the year, my club(s), what I’ve ridden in the past, my bike, and my new bike that I am hoping will arrive sometime this month.
