I’ve probably spent the last decade living on my cycling past having done nothing on the bike.
Things have moved on and I’m still stuck in a 10 speed world.
Even getting on the turbo was hard work, flat rides on the Tacx ending after a few miles. Things are gradually improving along with some weight loss. I’ve been through all this before.
We are on our second Motorhome following The Tour de France for a good 10 years only stopping for Covid. Nothing planned as usual but I probably won’t be doing the start in Florence.
Update 22 March 2024
Things are looking up the weightloss is coming on, a few hiccups but nothing serious ( 2 funerals one of them my mothers ). I’m down 10kg and the benefits have been instantaneous in terms of movement and joint pain.
Try picking up a 10kg hand weight, I did in Decathlon. Then think about carrying it around with you every step and every flight of stairs being a mini workout.
Making a return even on a turbotrainer hasn’t been without its challenges. Hollow tech bottom bracket shot, Mavic Kysrium freewheel shot (rebuilt), spacer missing , poor gear indexing, a10 year old tube giving up in a turbo trainer tyre gave interesting results.
The plan is a British Heart Foundation plan seemingly long lost “ So you want to loose weight for good” It worked for me once and it’s working again. -500kcals a day looses you 1pound per week.
