Perhaps but also to a certain extent true. If you are gearing up for a race
you need to train, if you are gearing up for a particularly long ride (long
for you, different people will have different definitions of long) you need
to train. If you are just cycling for general fitness or fun why can't you
just say you are going for a bike ride as opposed to claiming it is a training
ride. Consider you don't hear joggers talking about going for a training
run unless they are prepping for a marathon or something.
