Steady Past the Chocolate Factory

The last free ride before the winter plan takes over. No intervals, no power targets, just a steady gravel loop under grey November skies and past the chocolate factory: 55 km at 28.6 km/h, with the legs deciding the pace.

From Monday, 9 November, the structured winter block starts. My coach writes the endurance sessions, two strength sessions a week fit around them, and the spring has one clear priority: the bike comes first.

So this one only had to feel good, and it did. A few hours later the legs got their homework anyway: a leg-focus strength session.
