A good read that and it has helped to motivate me, thanks!
Amongst other things I really want to master bunny hops. Master really just meaning "being able to do. At all."
At 49 I'll be chuffed if I can teach this old dog a new trick!
That’s a really great article, very timely given my current mental state - thank you so much! Maybe I won’t beat myself up quite as much as usual now...
Excellent article...these things are all too easy to forget.
So many of us have struggled for motivation this winter, it has been a hard one for some reason. I organise a ride so I have to go out, which has kept me going, but it's been hard. Last Thursday was fantastic, drying trails and great flow again, seemed to make it all worthwhile.
I hope that others are finding their flow again.
Been out on average about once a week this winter and the mud & puddles (ponds and lakes in most places) have been great fun. However it has taken its toll on my Stumpjumper, new rear hub bearings and the same for the bottom bracket, both seized after particularly wet rides and now my shocks need some attention! After Thursday;s torrential rain I went out yesterday with a mate to the Isle of Portland (Dorset), he lives in Weymouth, in what looked like iffy weather, but we were rewarded with clearing skies, sunshine, stunning views (the previous days rain had cleared the air) and we both felt refreshed and reinvigorated, albeit with tired legs. Sitting outside a café in the sunshine with americanos and brownies we reflected on how lucky we are to live here in Dorset and to have the opportunity to get out and ride its stunningly beautiful landscapes. Food for the soul? Definitely. 🙂 It takes a bit more effort, but riding thru the winter months has its rewards.
