OK, OK, I know I said that I would be out come rain or shine but I wasn't quite prepared for rain, wind and very poor visibility. Consequently, discretion was the better part of valour and I hit the turbo, not a long or particularly intense session and I used it to tweak the gears and get the bike riding smoothly. After its winter overhaul the turbo bike is noticably smoother; I upgraded from Sora 8-speed to Ultegra 9-speed with a Dura-Ace Octalink bottom bracket and it has made a noticeable difference. And all for minimal cost, as these parts were all just lieing around the garage.
As promised I weighed myself this morning; starting weight is 11 stone 11 pounds (75kg) and target weight is 11 stone 4 pounds (71.8kg) or less. I am much further forward than at the beginning of this season where I was weighing 12 stone 6 pounds in early March. Target FTP is 330 watts; we'll see what the stats say on that subject later this week.
Train smart folks.

tut tut tut, not scared of a bit of rain are we?
rain comment made from a nice warm dry work CIS Ops!
LOL! It wasn't the rain so much as the wind and the very poor visibility; no point getting knocked off your bike when you could be safe on your turbo.
