And it works, even if you're just doing short rides. (Unlike SurlyDave I'm happy to settle for a minimum of 5km, which I found to be long enough to sweep away the cobwebs and capture the feeling of having been for a ride.) For example, of the 43 rides I did in November, eight were of less than 10km accounting for about 55km all up—not to be sneezed at. I wonder if I'd have had time to make up that extra 55km in the last week?</p> Thanks for the positive feedback.
