The weather was brightening up so I decided to leave work a bit earlier to be able to ride outside and make the best of the light and the around 10 degrees C temperature. I took the Obed out for what was to be my first outdoor ride of 2015. The legs felt strong from the many rides on the Tacx and I could keep the pace up , whilst enjoying the pull of the wind and the variation of forest soils. I did an hours' worth of local laps, taking care not to push too hard on the pedals and concentrating on my form on the bike.

Time for another Tacx Satori ride. I felt refreshed and could maintain a good pace, even though I upped the resistance for 10 minutes from 2 to 3. 35 minutes later I had a good recovery ride whilst stressing the muscles to perform better.

This late afternoon saw me on the Tacx Satori. I added a bit of resistance when I passed the 10 minute mark, going from 2 to 3 (on a scale of 10). This made things a bit harder on the legs which resulted in a lower average speed. Still managed to maintain a good tempo.

I've been quite busy this weekend. Yesterday I went for a 15K walk in the forest followed a couple of hours later by a Core Stab/Pilates session. Today saw me meeting up with a friend in Tervuren and afterwards I went for a solitary walk around the Tervuren ponds, some 6.5K.
When I go home I got on the Hilset on the Tacx Satori for a 35 minute ride. Legs felt fine and the tension on the muscles felt just right.

After a busy day I decided to do a ride on the Hilset on the Tacx Satori. The legs felt great and I could maintain a good pace and speed throughout the ride. Listening to Crucified Barbara on Spotify and delving into the secrets of Bram Stoker's Dracula on my Kindle.

After doing a 15K walk in the forest yesterday I was resolved to do a ride on the Hilset on the Tacx Satori today. Did the ride early in the morning and the legs got better with every minute, starting out a bit stiff .

Going for a good spin on the Tacx Satori when I got home from work. I already did a long walk mid-week - 9.5K - and this was my second bike ride. The legs felt fine and I could maintain a good cadence and speed.

After another kine session yesterday, which focused on doing some tough RedCord exercises that had my abs tingling the whole day, I decided on a Tacx Satori for today. Keeping a good pace as usual and on resistance 2 out of 10. I started read a new book on my Kindle, Elisabeth Miller's Dracula, Sense and Nonsense. Its a non-fictional essay about what is real in Bram Stoker's masterpiece and even more so, what is not real. Promises to be an interesting read.

I did an 18.2K walk in the forest yesterday, starting out in -4 degrees C but warming up as the hours passed.
Today I felt like doing a stint on a bike so I got on the Hilset in the Tacx Satori for 30 minutes for a fast ride at high rpm. Legs felt surprsingly good, showing that hiking and cycling use completely different angles on the muscles.

Was home early from work today so I started on a ride on the Tacx Satori. Legs felt fine, the hamstrings still sore from Mondays' Core and stretching session at the Kine.

I had a relatively good week as far as my hip was concerned, so today I decided on another ride on the Tacx Satori. The legs felt fine and strong even though I was still feeling some aches from yesterday evenings' Core Stability session.

The sessions at the kine are going well, and today I decided to do another ride on the Tacx Satori. Keeping the pace high and the minutes flew by. Legs felt OK and so did the rest of my body.

First ride of the new year. It has been exactly one month ago since I last rode on a bike. I have been doing a lot of walks to keep fit. I started going to the kine because my hip has been giving me worries. But today was the day when I saddled a bike again and it went quite well. I started out for only 30 minutes just to see what that would do to my legs. I will know tomorrow.

This morning saw some fog hanging over the fields. The forest was very muddy and I did not feel like riding out in the fields so I decided to stay indoors and ride 45 minutes on the Tacx Satori. My left hip was giving me some worries too. I need to have that looked at in the coming weeks.
The ride went fine and I was able to maintain a good rhythm and pace.

I was home really late this evening because I had a flat tyre with the car and had to wait for VTB-VAB to arrive and temporary fix it.
I settled for half an hour of Tacx Satori which also helped to straighten my head from the exitement. Legs felt fine, speed was high.

A fine day today but daylight was long gone before I got home from work. So I took to the Tacx Satori rollers for a large half hour of cycling, with my head in my Kindle enjoying the delicate stream of blood and gore tickling out of the 'Draculas' novel I'm reading.
Legs felt fine.

Taking it easy today with only half an hour of Tacx riding. Legs were fine but I did feel a little tired.
