The cold, dark grind of winter fades into memory as the sun peeks over the horizon, casting its golden rays upon a world awakening from hibernation. It’s a moment of transformation, of liberation, as the hum of turbo-trainers and echoes of treadmills give way to the rhythmic cadence of wheels spinning freely on open roads and of feet pounding pavement and trail.

In the quiet solitude of indoor training, we found respite from the rain and the gloom, pushing ourselves to the limits in a maelstrom of sweat and sketchy Bluetooth connections – a battle of mind over matter, daydreaming of sunnier climes.

But now, as the days grow longer and the air grows warmer, the daydreaming gives way to reality. You’ve done the work, paid your dues, now it’s time to bid farewell to the confines of indoor training and embrace the freedom of the great outdoors.

Disconnect. Reconnect. Get out there.

Indoor season is over.
