After yesterday's drowning in the scotch smur, Bigman was taking no chances with the weather when he ventured out on the Trek Tractor this afternoon. And so it turned out to be a good decision, with a shower opting to drop a few gallons on him as he climbed Cleish for the third time.Waterproof shorts may sound a silly idea, however they are brilliant on a wet day on the bike. They have less constriction on movement than full waterproofs and do not make you sweat as much, but the biggest benefit is that they keep your backside dry. There is little worse than a pair of padded shorts soaked with rainwater. No wonder babies scream when they have wet their nappy. Everyone would ..... and probably did!
His focus today was to get some more mountain bike climbing miles under his belt.
25 miles and 4 repetitions over the mighty Col du Cleish followed up by some sprinting around at the Sunday night fives footie has provided an excellent weekend of training as he sails into another working week and one less until the Epic Caper in South Africa.
