Just wish I could get out on a ride but still a couple of days before I go back to work. Doesn't look as though the weather will play ball for me though. Think I am becoming a woose as all I want is a bit of sun so that I could feel warm on a ride.

Saddle position is very important for me and although a stretched out position may feel comfortable on the flat- uphill and that saddle has to be right. Just far enough forward for the knees to be above the centre of the pedals and I am fine. Any further back and those slopes get tough.

And as you say- A Good start to the new year
