Winter is, understandably, not most cyclists’ favourite season. Colder, wetter weather, paired with shorter days, hardly make for optimum riding conditions. However, these months still make up a decent proportion of the overall year, and for that reason, we deem it out job at Cycling Weekly to keep riders motivated and out (or in) on their bikes as the season progresses.
Not only that, but, there is a lot to celebrate about winter riding. For racers, it’s the ‘off-season‘, the opportunity to build up those miles, address weaknesses, and emerge into the next year as a fitter, faster incarnation of the rider who completed the previous block of competition.
