Are you all just a bunch of mindless drones, stuck in a routine of structured riding and interval training, completely oblivious to the fact that youre sucking the soul out of this sport?
I mean, whats the point of riding if youre just going to follow some predetermined plan, day in and day out, without any sense of adventure or spontaneity? Youre not even allowing yourselves to experience the thrill of the unknown, the rush of exploring new roads and trails, or the satisfaction of pushing your limits without a predetermined endpoint in mind.
And dont even get me started on the so-called benefits of structured riding. Yeah, sure, you might see some marginal gains in terms of watts per kilogram or whatever other metric youre obsessed with, but at what cost? Youre sacrificing the very essence of what makes cycling so great - the freedom, the joy, the sense of escapism.
Meanwhile, those of us who dare to venture off the beaten path, who reject the monotony of structured riding and instead embrace the unknown, are the ones who truly understand what it means to be in love with this sport. Were not bound by the shackles of interval training or worried about messing up our carefully crafted workout plans. Were free to ride, to explore, to push ourselves to new heights without the burden of expectation or predetermined outcomes.
So, I ask you, are you really cyclists, or are you just robots programmed to follow a script, devoid of passion, creativity, or joy? Can you honestly say that youre experiencing the thrill of cycling, or are you just going through the motions, stuck in a rut of structured riding and interval training?
