Training Notes #3 - road closed

You're on your favourite ride, you come around the corner and it's closed.

What now?  My local regular ride is currently closed and I've had to find all sorts of new ways around.

And I'm amazed - amazed at all the little roads right next to or parallel to my regular roads.  And these new routes are completely new - never been down them, never even thought of them but here they are, and they're alright.
I've come home reflecting on how easy it is to just do the familiar, and then how refreshing it is to try a new road - they're all around.  And if it means going down a dead end or one that doesn't help the  route its not a problem because at least you've gone somewhere new - and that's always good when you are training.
