Ditto??

Weather is No 1 thing for me. It simply is not fun to battle a 20mph+ headwind. Know it is excellant exercise. But it ain't fun. Not at all. Same goes for riding in 100 degree heat. Not fun. While I do ride for the exercise, it still is supposed to be fun.
One of my solutions for keeping it fun is to not let myself feel pressured to pedal to the max just because I am riding. Instead, I will get on my stationary bike at home and push it. And spend time doing different leg weights at the gym. By doing this I increase my stamina and endurance without sacrificing enjoying my bike rides.
I ride by myself(boring at times). Usually ride from 15 to 50 plus miles, depending on how much time I have to ride. Bike is a Giant 2003 XTC1 SE that I have more or less made into a hybrid.(slicks and road cassette)
