... you just might get it. When I opened my Indoor Cycling studio, I was praying for a good following and a strong business. Unfortunately, that also translated into less riding time - a job hazard I was not anticipating. I still trained well enough to keep a semblance of a race schedule, and to do one or two epic rides per season, but getting out on a regular basis was just too time consuming - especially in the winter. But today, I couldn't resist - cold as it was, the sun was shining and I just had that urge that I couldn't put down no matter how busy I was. So YES, it took me 30 minutes to get my gear together (even though i knew where it all was), to get the layers right, and then there was the stop and go to navigate to my daughters to then begin the ride in earnest. This is what has held me from doing more rides - the prep before I leave and the first 20 min of getting through traffic to the back roads burns an hour before the good riding/training starts.
But today that didn't matter - I was so happy to be outside riding, I felt like a little kid again. That's going to be my New year's resolution this year - let myself burn a few extra hours in the week and ride some outside. I've got to find balance here.
