And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?
This song goes through my head every time I come back home from a great, hard ride!
My issue is "time-guilt" I've got lots of support from my significant other, but there is a real perceived resentment for being "out on the bike" for three hours after work. The result has been switching to 5:00 a.m. rides and Saturday and Sunday morning rides - effectively eliminating any ability or desire to stay up late. I tried to get my partner on the bike and I am still working on it. But you have all heard it before and have probably dealt with it in yourselves - the "nagging reluctance" - it is raining, it is too windy, it is too hot, it is too cold, there's too much traffic, there's so much to do around the house...
Now that winter is biting at my heels and the sun is coming up later and later, I'm going to have to start a new strategy to get back to after work riding...I don't have the answer to this, but I wish I did.
