So i ve just completed my first real season of racing. With all the training rides and races and driving to races it sometimes gets hard to remember we do this for FUN right? About half way through the year i was gettin really burnt out, riding 4-5 times a week, usualy 30-50 mile rides at a time and i could feel myself starting to HATE my bike. So one sunday i went out, didnt take the HRM didnt turn on the flight deck and just rode around. I mean i was just RIDING MY BIKE, no fast pace not pushing it. Started enjoying the scenery and the weather. The feeling of being "away" from everything and the freedom of being on my bike and just cruising where i wanted. After 2 hrs of this i felt like a new man. Now every sunday i do this same routine, nothing fancy just cruise around town. Killing two birds with one stone i might add, getting my recovery in while enjoying myself. SO how does everyone here keep riding from becoming a second job or from getting to the point where they burn out, i m interested to see how others do it.
