Cross training

I woke up this morning to 10cm of snow covering everything outside – something that doesn’t happen in York too often!  Rather than risk heading out on the road bike, I thought I’d make the most of the weather and went up to the attic to dig out my dad’s cross country skis.  I got quite a few funny looks walking down the road to York Racecourse with a pair of skis over my shoulder (particularly as its totally flat and when people see skis they immediatley think of downhill!).  I had a fun hour sliding around a lap of the field in the sunshine.  I suspect I won’t be able to walk tomorrow as the muscles you use are totally different to biking ones!
