You see, I tried that and when it was proper cold I found the moisture in my breath condensates on the fabric and I increasingly feel like I'm waterboarding myself!
I set what I thought was a reasonable target for 2017 but with the weather and to a greater extent work getting in the way I've already got Strava helpfully reminding me that I'm 97 miles off pace. 21 days in and I've got one ride under my belt
I did bang out a few sessions on the exercise bike at the hotel but I could only do 20 minutes at a time as it wasn't air conditioned. Low thirties when I left Pretoria so if I ever get back to the UK its going to be a bit of a shock to the system!
One of my goals was to do a club ride a month but I'm going to have to bin off the first one already. Working last weekend, getting back to the UK late afternoon today then working the next two weekends. If I spend Sunday on a club ride I might find myself single! That would leave more room for bikes that I don't get a chance to ride though...
One of the 100 mile sportives I did last year is running a double event. One in April, one in August and the finishers medals combine to make one uber medal. Sadly that is enough to tempt me to do both
EDIT - Ouch... sorry to anyone that follows me on Strava. I forgot that anything I add to my Garmin Connect account gets uploaded as a separate (usually wrongly categorised) activity on Strava
I've just gone through and marked all my 5 minute attempts at lifting some weights as private
