48F and drizzly here in the desert. I actually got chilled in front of my fan in between videos. Had to put a jersey on over my base layer. Apparently, Igniter and TBTITW weren’t enough of a warm up.

Nothing like a bit of scorning to warm up.

Keep onwards, Sir Evan.

Good work Sir Evan. 6 knighthoods is bonkers. The very definition of unnecessary self inflicted suffering. Love it.

Suffer well!

Time to bury myself

Halfway thru. Now to dig myself back out of the mines.

During the warmup my arms were so chilled I turned off my big fan and put on gloves.

After the warm up I was able to take the gloves off. And at the start of the middle break I turned my fan back on.

Now time to bring back that box car of courage.

I was in the garage for a session first thing this morning. Unusually cold snap for November here in the UK at the moment. Once I had warmed up a bit I took my hoodie off draped it over my bars and wrapped it round my hands as some makeshift mits, the bars were so cold. Didn’t ever get warm enough for the fan.

Timing of the intervals were off by about 1 second which made the suffering a little more… interesting.

Think I’ve finally warmed up.

And I’m happy to have brought up plenty of courage to now hit the track and start…

The Omnium.

Now why does this one look so familiar… :thinking:

Survived the Kilo. Even earned myself a short lie down.

This playlist is nasty. I’m still trying to figure out who put all my nemesis workouts into this Knighthood playlist. But in the meantime it’s time for…

14 Vice Grips

Does this could as one ride or two? :thinking:
