The book is about riding for your mind as well as your body. She approaches riding as a meditation. I tried yesterday to think about using breath the way she discusses, and realized, even with my strong yoga background, I still don't fully breathe when I ride. It was an eye opener, and I have a lot of work to do.

I am a recovering bike computer junkie. Step 1, admit you have a problem. I took my computer off my bike. I still check the stats (I have my ways) when I get home, but that lapse in time (from looking at my average speed while still on the ride) keeps me from feeling badly about myself.
