It's so easy to talk ourselves out of getting back on the bike for another ride but don't allow that to happen. Whether you do 10 minutes or 10 miles - you are doing it.
Keep it up - You just motivated me to get on my bike today (been talking myself out of it because of the humidity) Thanks
Congrats again.
This is great advice. I struggle almost every day to get on the bike. Once I am on and have gone a couple miles I feel great and am loving it.
Something else I will do especially on weekends is to go for a ride in the morning and then another in the evening. They might be shorter rides but total mileage ends up being more than the single ride. You'll be surprised how fast your mileage actually goes up riding everyday.
Good luck.
