I ride for commuting and it is fun! Okay, there are some "not-fun" (scary!) moments but they are few and far between.

I also ride recreationally and I mix it up by commuting on Mon./Wed./Fri. and doing the evening club rides on Tues. and Thur. evenings.

On Saturday I usually do some challenging ride, i.e. several thousand feet and many miles on mountain roads, riding a single or double century, etc. Then on Sundays it's either recovery ride on my fixed gear bike or an easy club ride with a coffee shop stop in the middle.

Keep riding, keep it fun and throw in a lot of variety both from via bike choice and road/off road/MUP/Trail choice.
