Some days you aren’t feeling it; you’re in pain, slept poorly, fatigued. Some days you have to listen to your body. Some days you just have to stick to your plan and get it done. If I’m a pro I’m just marching to the tune of my training plan. Do what they would do.

At a community engagement workshop on road management in my region this week, I came away thinking cyclists are at risk from failings in infrastructure. Two near misses this week make me think it’s more related to poor and aggressive driving.
It seems like this is the time for Zwift to finally do real accuracy testing for trainers they approve for elite level racing, and establish an actual protocols for it too. Long overdue. Super well-written article: www.cyclingnews.com/news/zwift-p...

Is it just a #Physiotherapy thing if you gain enjoyment from doing a functional return to work assessment for a Federal Police employee? Was pretty cool getting restrained in 10 different ways!
