I ride alone 95% of the time; especially since my local Rivendell/Surly/All City sort of hipster shops all closed down. I used to like going on their weekend rides. I find myself not working currently so I can ride during the week, middle of the day, whenever.
I like the exercise aspect of riding, because I am trying to slowly lose the dad bod, but really I just like to be "out there" on my bike. Alone with my thoughts. I do find it's good to take a little snack, more so as I get a little older, instead of the way I used to ride when I was younger, take nothing with me & just assume there would be water fountains & convenience stores along the way. I love all things mechanical, the elegant simplicity & efficiency of a bicyle really resonate with my soul. When the bike is working well & I feel good it's quite magical. I do quite enjoy useful trips on my bike and incorporating errands into my rides. Yesterday was a shakedown of my new Crust Titanium Evasion, but I also went to the Post Office, then a bike shop and ultimately hammered out 30 miles. Felt pretty exhausting in the 90° heat & 20 mph wind. Probably the main thing I enjoyed about working was it gave me a good excuse to ride as much as possible. The job itself was sort of secondary to my getting there & back! 😂 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
