I have amazed myself that I have been able to stick with riding my trainer all winter. There are days when it is hard, but I really want to try riding with others this season without being the slo-mo of the group. My first training ride with a group is this Sunday and I'm already breaking a sweat over it. Training rides are hard work and I don't think I'm up to the challenge. I am ready, I think, but fear of the unknown has me all uptight. My main motaviation for riding is of course weight loss. That is not happening

but I still keep riding and hoping. I am getting stronger so I guess it's not a total waste of time.
I worry ALOT about everything. And quitting is right there at the top. But I seem to be enjoying it and on the days I don't feel like riding I don't and have only a minimum amount of guilt. I keeping hoping that maybe I am getting hooked and will make this a lifelong passion. I need to think more like an athlete and less like a couch potato. Maybe I just need to worry less and enjoy more.

Hey Bikerhen you know you cant quit because who will I ride with at LRRH.
I hope you have a great group ride on Sunday. I understand breaking out in a sweat over it - Im not fast enough to join the club around here but if I was Im sure I would be panicking before each ride.
Let us know how it all works out. I will be sending vibes for a smooth fun ride.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
