I want to start training for the upcoming gravity enduro series as i'd like to be able to ride up the hills this year. But winter finally seems to have arrived in Melbourne and i am a wuss.
So looking for suggestions as to what to do next.
Option 1 - harden up and ride in the rain (means buying wet weather gear doing more maintenance on the bike)
Option 2 - join a gym and ride the exercise bikes and lift weights (heated and rain free but bikes usually suck (tractor sized seats) and the pedals are usually flogged out.
Option 3 - grab a trainer and sit on the back verandah and pedal under cover. (Cold and boring)
Has anyone read/used the The Mountain Biker's Training Bible By Joe Friel? i am looking for some sort of plan to work with one of the above options. When i used to have gym membership i pretty much got blank looks when i asked for a cycling based program.
Any suggestions/experience you can offer would be appreciated. off to get ready for a wet ride in the morning.
