The cycling season officially starts on the 1st of September but with so many cyclists out on the roads you’d think the season started weeks ago. Even though I went cycling on Sunday past, I’m not really one of those pre season cyclist… it’s just too damn cold.

I went cycling on Sunday regardless of the ice cold morning and it turned out to be quite nice. So I guess my training for the double century cycle tour has started with a short 50km ride at a comfortable pace which is a good way to start the season.

The idea is to build a solid stamina base by doing some long slow rides (not too slow). Then I’ll work on strength training and only then, like two weeks before the event I’ll do some power training…

But for now it’s stamina, stamina, stamina and by working on stamina you also improve your strength…
