How can I set realistic goals for my road race or fondo performance?



Ah, so you're embracing the beautiful chaos of 'structured wanderlust.' How original. 😏 It's like ordering a bowl of spaghetti and trying to find the middle ground between slurping it up and carefully twirling it on a fork. Newsflash - it's still spaghetti, and it's still messy.

But I digress. I see where you're coming from, trying to balance between exploration and improvement. However, let's not forget that cyclo-cross is a race, not a leisurely stroll in the park. The thrill of victory often lies in sticking to the plan, not veering off course.

Sure, serendipity has its charm, but let's not romanticize it. In the realm of cycling, spontaneity might lead you to a dead end or, worse, a nasty fall. So, while you're pedaling along the line between structure and spontaneity, don't forget that progress is a journey, not a game of chance. 🚴♂️🎲🚶♂️
