Couldn't keep improving. 30 seconds slower compared to last week but it was cold. Time seemed to be lost at the start, I was trying for negative splits.

Some PRsParc de la Tête d'Or (21:13) - previous 21m38sParc Tête d'or - Entrée Lycée du Parc - 1.

A tour around the Grand Large reservoir using Cross Skis or Skikes.

A trip to discover the Promenade du Biezin which is used by busses during matches at the Olympique Lyonnais stadium. It is a really good road surface with about 3.

New PR for the tour of the Tete d'Or, 21m38 (5m39) about 25 seconds faster. Didn't feel great at first and couldn't find a good rythm and not always easy to see in the dark.

Testing out my workout program on the fitness watch by doing my 4 x 1km training run. Intervals were 4.59 dropping to 5.15 on the last interval with a 90s-2m rest in between intervals.

I wanted to try a longer tour of the Mont d'Or above Lyon returning to the Chemin du Tignot which I haven't ridden for a decade. It is as poorly surfaced as ever, well worse than that.

I decided to spend a bit fo time doing some no poles exercises aimed at improving balance but not ideal as a huge number of people in the park for a running race.

I'd not fully explored the Miribel Jonage park on rollerskis.

For the return to Lyon I thought I'd explore the city center on rollerskis a bit. After a loop of the park to warm up I headed through the tunnel Modes Doux than over the Saone.
