First bike workout in shorts and short sleeves. It felt warmer than several races were in the middle of last summer even at 1300m altitude – yet it’s only the second day of spring. Hope that the snow at 3000m is still good for skiing off piste tomorrow. Equalled my best time from last year for the 51km local circuit with two hard climbs – despite being about 5 kilos heavier due to carrying all my winter blubber.
