Where has your bike taken you today?

[Chadvdw67]

Yea but do you ride solo? I do 80 % of the time and probably 90 % on my road bike . It’s a fair bit tougher Hans solo for a few of reasons. No more so than getting a little respite,but that’s not the only reason . Mentally it can be tough to be out there alone for hours on end with no chit chat to break the monotony of talking to yourself . When it gets proper tough like last wkd in the wind to keep to the route you planned . Etc etc .....

 

The advantage is when you ride in a group albeit a race or just training ride you can up your avg speed for not to much extra effort . Within reason of course .

 

Keep going you will get there. Staying motivated is another difficultly when you not letting anyone down but yourself .

 

Good luck

 

Oh and i’m also crap at getting up early ,hence my solo stints .

All my roadie rides have been solo, when on the MTB on the trails I am most often with someone.

 

My best road ride to date, was a 56km ride, 618m elevation at 23.7km/h, pretty proud of that ride.

 

And I was just being facetious when I said I should quit, I know it takes a lot of work to build up fitness, I love riding, dont see myself giving it up for the foreseeable future....

Strongs Mate ... we all just keep at it regardless. I have had a turbulent 16 months and my fitness or lack of it mostly makes it tough more often than not. But it’s about the freedom 2 wheels that keeps most of going . But when got that love for it you solid

 

Always keen to join you from a ride if you Alberton way .

Actually they clean up pretty well.  Littering is becomming more and more a problem especially on the hiking trails in the mountain.  Locals are getting more and more irrate with the city slickers comming and littering the place.  Last night they were talking about how littering became more of an issue with Covid19 as more people went hiking/walking and produced more rubbish with it.  Currently Germany is spending 700 milj Euro a year on rubbish removal and cleaning.
