A good ride…
It's easy (particularly when you see races coming up on the calendar) to get too focused on training and goals and to forget that part of the fun of cycling (or any sport) is the actual doing. I was reminded of that on Sunday when the L&T joined me for a ride. Mostly the L&T is a runner, so when she mentioned the idea of going for a ride, I was pretty stoked. We went out on that afternoon to the Burke-Gillman trail and did a nice 15 mile ride, chatting, and joking, and just riding along. It was great.
I can always put my music on and my head down and get on the trainer or go outside, but it was nice to remember that sometimes just getting on your bike and pedaling around laughing and talking is the best training there is.
It's great to get out there sometimes and just RIDE - Happy Why Cycle Wednesday!
