My two cents about getting to the next level in cycling (especially if you are looking to buy that expensive race wheel-set) is to invest in a power-meter. It was the best thing I did and it has improved my cycling hundred times over what a nice set of wheels would…

Not at all…what there is we share with scooters and it’s usually very rough. But at least the law is that cars must watch the lane carefully when turning right for example…if they hit a scooter, they are in big trouble. This helps cyclists a bit.

Yes, there are definitely some roads around here with a nice wide shoulder. I assume there isn’t much for bike lanes over in Taiwan?

On top of that sweeping vista, that’s also a great cycling road…looking at the wide shoulder which seems to be the same size as the traffic lane itself!

I’m glad you like the beautiful flatness found here in Saskatchewan. There definitely are some scenic shots around this area.

Great article Darryl. We never get better unless we change things up. As far as training for a century, I can vouch that there are plans (some for free) out there that make it relatively easy for middle-aged, overweight cyclists (I may or may not be talking about myself) to ride 100 miles.

Is that a shot of scenic Saskatchewan? There’s something awesome in the endless flatness.

Cycle all year round, it ain’t a Summer Sport. Get a crosser or MTB if you’re a roadie, you’ll love it!

Anyway, mud is good for the skin!

Darryl,

I don’t believe there is such a thing as the end of bike season – regardless of location.

In fact, I dreamt just this week, I was riding on diamond studded tires. The wintery months are not season end but an opportunity to experience an entirely different ride.
