I certainly feel like I've progressed quite a lot this year.
At the start of the year I was still on an aluminum hybrid casually riding along ... I didn't even have specific cycling clothing then and I thought I was fine without ...

... now I've done nearly 1000k and 3 TT races on my carbon TT bike in just a few months.

I don't care much about the number of miles I do ... I care much more about the intensity level
