the outdoor type

I've always been the outdoor type. As kids we'd be told "go and play outside". We didn't mind because there's no place we'd rather be. Luke seems to be the same. Always itching to get outside.

I was going to do some indoor training today. I'd planned to go for a swim. But when the weather is like today, the bike will always win. There can't be many more days like this as we head into December.

Head out to Nota on the flats. I plan to stay there but looking to the right I see the autumn colours on Komura Pass. Snow on the mountain ridge.

The road is barriered off once the first snows come so I know I'll have it all to myself.

Too much to resist. Don't want to push too hard though. Keep the gears easy. Keep the cadence high.

There'll be plenty of time for swimming once the weather turns....

Tuesday's training: Komura Pass ~ Odeguchi camp site return (48 km, 800 m climbing)

Daily stretching routine - Luke shows his dad just how "katai" he is
