Cycling is a wonderful sport. However, when your focus is on training for the upcoming season, sometimes it is easy to forget to look away from your Garmin and take note of your surroundings. The pure joy of riding a bike is that sense of a adventure. You can go anywhere. Speed along narrow country roads or push yourself to your limit as you climb high mountains. Our passion even pushes us to take cycling holidays. Some for pre season warm weather training, others to take in the iconic roads of France, Italy or Spain. Everytime we step over our two wheeled, finely tuned machine, we can go on an adventure. It is this joy of riding a bicycle that got each and every one of us hooked on the sport initially. We only began to get a bit faster after that. Be sure to take note of your surroundings each and every ride. Feel the breeze in your face, the speed as you pedal through the countryside, and the effort as you push yourself up that hard climb. Remind yourself this is why you started, this is why you ride your bike.
Keep this in mind every time you feel a bit tired of training, or when the numbers mightn't be telling you what you want to know. Remember why you started and get back to basics. Allow your bike to take you somewhere brilliant. Bring that sense of adventure and excitement back into your training. #wheredoesyourbiketakeyou P.S.
