Inevitability
Just as the winter mileage was building up nicely I was taken out by a seasonal bug and have subsequently spent the last two weeks off the bike. Very frustrating especially since November had been such a good month on the bike. Oh well, given the subject of my previous post it was bound to happen. Thankfully it was business as usual this weekend, out and about in the Surrey Hills with a triathlete colleague, who has persuaded me to take part in my first triathlon next May. I have to admit I'm a little apprehensive but I'm looking forward to giving it a go and you know what they say about variety...
More on the triathlon in later posts.
Time off the bike as given me a little more time to browse around and catch up on the online cycling world. I have had a chance to check out bikespace, a social networking site set up for cyclist in the US. There are quite a few of these types of site around at the moment but this is one of the most well developed and provides some great features. It seems that the States have a much more developed online cycling community than over here in Europe. Not really sure why, maybe the US has just embraced the technology quicker. It's a great idea and one that would work for everyone from the casual weekenders through to the more serious riders. Perhaps you have to be pretty up to speed with the latest internet technologies to get the best out of this type of site but it wouldn't long for a novice to get to grips with the essentials for logging rides and mapping routes. I will keep on eye on this to see how things develop. It would be great to see a UK version.
