No training on Monday as it was the last day that the boys were home before heading back to school in the evening. The day was spent running around finding various bits and pieces and then dropping them off at the airport. Fortunately they got back safely before the weather closed in; Leeds/Bradford airport was closed today.
This morning, though, despite the cold, I was up just after 5am to hit the turbo for an easy 30 minute session. I also managed another 45 minutes at lunchtime on the gym bike. The weather has now taken a turn for the worse and it has now been snowing consistently for the last few hours and we have a good couple of inches. I know this is just a sprinkling compared to some parts of the country but the bottom line is that there will be no road riding until it clears up, so its the turbo or nothing.
Another piece of my Litespeed puzzle arrived today; the bottom bracket cable guide. I've had a message from Parkers saying that my frame protectors were out of stock but will be with me shortly. It's largely irrelevant at the moment as there will be no road riding, especially on the Litespeed, for some time.
Stay warm folks.

the litespeed is looking good, what are you going to use that for?
are you still getting the new superlight beast for spotives?
Thanks Roy. The Litespeed is the superlight beast, although still a heavyweight compared to some of the carbon bikes available nowaday. It should weigh just under 16.5 pounds with the Ksyriums but if I can find the cash for the new wheels I want (Hed Ardennes) then this will drop to about 16 pounds. It will be used for sportives and long training rides in the summer.
16LBS!! Best I draft you in the Bristol Black Rat Sportif mate! Never weighed my bikes but I suspect each one is heavier than yours! Train well in the Turbo Dungeon mate!
