Drove down to Saltaire and did a ride along the canal with Jess as far as Keighley golf course and back. Another wind-free day, though temperatures were below freezing.
Nice to have an easy ride as cold still there.

Really nice day which was lucky as me and Jess had planned to go for a ride. Headed down to the Greenway and did the whole length then did the extra bit out to Ravensthorpe and back. Jess is certainly more confident and is better at unclipping when we stop. Nearly managed the whole route without any incidents but she forgot to unclip at the traffic lights crossing Wakefield Rd. Luckily it was another fall at about 1mph so no injury. Garmin started but then died part way round despite being fully charged - possibly didn't like the freezing temperature - so have guessed the time we were out. Cold still pretty bad so nice to take it easy.

Another great night for cycling with no wind, though it was a bit chilly at just above freezing. Went down to Dewsbury, over to Brighouse, up to Hipperholme and back via Shelf and Holme Wood. Kept a good pace up, though was stopped at traffic lights for 2.30.
Cold started last night but still wanted to head out.

Good urban cycle after work, nice evening for it. Down to Huddersfield on some fairly quiet main roads, then up to Brighouse and Bradford before coming back through Holme Wood.

Out with Jess on the road bike but actually on the roads for the first time trying to build up Jess' confidence. Took an urban route down to Gomersal, Morley, Gildersome and Drighlington. She's now able to clip into her pedals without assistance though still isn't keen on stopping at traffic lights if we're turning right! Not a great evening for it, but nice to be out during the week.

Too tired to do any cardio work so did a load of conditioning work. Need to do this a bit more regularly as well.

Another good turbo session, managed to get my HR up to 172 so pleased with that.
10 min warm-up, then 15 min effort (5 min recovery), 10 (3), 8 (2) 6 (1.30), 4 (1), 2 (0.30), 1 (0.30) 0.30, 10 min cool down.
