Do you guys take a break? I mean in the middle of your ride do you ever just stop for a few minutes, and then carry on. For some reason, maybe competitive nature in myself, I find my self just pushing on even when I feel totally gassed and just want to stop.
What do you guys do?
I picked up biking again a couple months ago. It kinda hurts my pride but I do take breaks occasionally. Yesterday's ride was in brutal heat and I stopped twice and laid down in the shade for a few minutes. It wasn't just that I was tired, it was a necessity. The only thing I don't like about it is when motorists stop to see if I'm okay. It's a little embarrassing.
