Seems in hot weather, getting past the first couple if miles is always the hardest. I have the same discussion with myself whenever it's hot (and muggy).
Glad "Determination" won out over "Mind"

Congrats on getting out there. I loved reading the dialog between mind and determination.

Good on ya', Donna! The first time is the hardest, and I still sometimes play the same kinda mind games. But invariably, I am always glad I got out and rode, even if I have NO desire prior to the ride and can think of a million excuses not to.
It's easiest for me if I ride with someone, because I will let myself down WAY before I'll let a friend or my DH down. If you could find a riding buddy, y'all could help motivate each other.
Keep it up!Emily
