I haven’t been riding my bike at all lately. When I had time, somehow I didn’t spend any of that time riding. I was telling myself I didn’t have time. Now I feel like I really don’t have time but I’ve started dreaming of riding. It’s starting to feel like fall out & that makes me wish I could just get on the bike and ride.
I don’t want to have a plan.
I don’t want to find some new loop that ends up back at my house.
I just want to get on the bike and ride in one direction for as long as I feel like it & not know where I’m going, just to find out where I end up.
But that’s not the way things work. I’ll always feel like I’m too busy for that, like someone needs me to do something, like that’s too self indulgent.
I’m so tired right now.
i know how you feel – going through withdraw. the best cure is to ride, maybe for only a few miles, say 3 or 5 miles out then turn around. surly you can spare 20 or 30 minutes.
You’re totally right. It’s four miles around my block. It does only take 20 minutes. I should just try to make that part of my daily routine until my schedule loosens up.
