Expecting you to cycle all the time

[Geonz]

Kinda my story. I don't feel right if I haven't ridden. Voices tell me other stuff, good & bad I did take a day off in January so that I wouldn't be in danger of obsessing about getting in a full year of riding every day, and there were days at the conference... but basically riding isn't a "thing I have to do" - it's part of living and breathing.

I get that voice about going to the gym. Since I'm in Toronto until early May I have the "but my nice road bike is at home and riding alone in the city on my commuter bike annoyiiiing" excuse. Usually my get-out-and-ride voice beats that one down though. Don't ride when you don't feel like it- it makes the times you do more fun (unless it's weeks in between).

See, that's why I like to mix it up. If I don't feel like riding I run - if I don't feel like running I do aerobics - if I don't feel like aerobics I do pilates.

I get that feeling sometimes too. I occasionally push through it and ride, but mostly I either run, depending upon how tired I am. Sometimes if I push myself too much and ignore the "voices" the riding starts to feel like a job which takes the fun out of it.
