Planning your next ride but dreading the cold weather? Read this article to learn how best to cycle in cold climates and to prepare yourself for the winter rides!
Cycling can be a very rewarding experience when you know what targets to strive for. Building a training plan and regime can go a long way towards seeing a physical improvement that makes cycling an ultimately much more enjoyable experience. With set goals, there is always an area for improvement to fight on and get more out of your cycling.
Cycling can be a daunting thing to get into at an entry level. How far should I go? Where should I go? How do I do it? I’m sure there will be plenty of questions. However, the most important thing to prepare for cycling on a regular basis is your physicality - if you don’t get your body ready to take on a full-on workout like cycling, then you’re risking injury or burnout.
While everyone understands the importance of a warm-up routine prior to exercising, not many people give the same focus to their post-exercise time. Practices such as warm-downs, appropriate food intake and bike preparation go a long way to creating a beneficial routine that detoxes and disconnects yourself from the strenuous exercise you’ve just been doing!
If you like your cycling, it’s well worth finding new routes to take or exploring unknown areas that you don’t typically travel on, or styles that you’ve never tried before and you’ll soon find yourself becoming a better, fitter cyclist because of your adaptability to certain terrain.
