As I only had 1 hour on the bike today, and therefore have a bit more time on my hands, I thought i'd better write up a post on how things are going on the island of Lanzarote.
After a later arrival than expected on Sunday evening, due to the plane leaving 6 hours after it was scheduled to, there was no time to get a couple of hours in on the bikes. This is what Monday was used for, Germain and I rode along to a town called Orzola, on the north of the island and back, which gave us just under 2.5 hours of riding time, to get the travelling out of the legs before the real training began.
And so, on Tuesday, it all began. I was, for the first time in a long while, excited for my 5 hour ride. The new scenery, mountains and conditions making it easy to get out on the bike for hour after hour. The new roads to explore and mountains to climb, it really does make the bike riding enjoyable.
I won't go into too much detail about the training i'm doing, but I will say that I have never trained as much as I am over here in Lanzarote. My time here should give me a great base to work on when I go back home, and hopefully will lead to a strong first season as an under 23.
My racing calender is almost complete, once it is, I will publish it on here, so keep an eye out!
It looks like I have got away just in time, as I hear there is even more snowfall back home, hope you guys are getting out on your bike okay, it's a bit windy here, but i'll get by ;)
That's all for now, will keep you updated on a more regular basis from now on.
Thanks
Taylor
