Training Log Archive: Torino

Went to an official Bike-O training with time-keeping, SIAir-units and printed maps. It was a bit a silly course, it felt like machine-stitching, going down, coming back up, going down, then up. Sometimes, it used very small single trails, there was usually no option to connect, so we had to go around. There was wood-cutting going on and some trails were really in a bad, muddy state where they went through with the big machines. And those sections were really hard to ride and very wet, often I had to get off the bike.
But I enjoyed being out (though in a very icy North wind) and did some map-reading and biking again.

Slow run/jog from home doing a loop up through the vineyards and the woods back home. Not too fast but felt good.

Gentle ride on a gorgeous day into strong headwind. But flying on the way back along the lake with beautiful sunset. We've been having such sunny January days, absolutely no precipitation here or in the Alps.
