It’s been almost two years since I stopped riding my bike professionally but there is one trick I always used to help me get winter miles in that I still rely on now.
It’s February and any novelty (if there ever was one) of winter has long since worn off. I think I want to ride my bike but I can’t bring myself to actually get out the door.
It’s the same old roads but they’re grey and dull. The social side of riding is what normally gets me out but even still the rides lack much purpose. I don’t have to ride anymore so now I have to want to.
