How do we balance our lives? We who ride bikes, and do so passionately, are faced with some challenges. We all lead many different lives. There is our work, which demands a lot of us. Family and friends make their time demands on us. We need to spend so many hours each day and week, doing the simple basics of living. Cycling is a notoriously “time hungry” sport. It is hard to “do it all.”
One thing I’ve noticed. The dedicated cyclists among us generally haven’t a clue as to what is happening on Dancing with the Stars or other “reality TV.”
To maintain basic fitness requires at least five to seven hours of exercise per week. Do less, and fitness suffers. Do more, and fitness is increased. (Of course it’s more complicated than that. We’re talking fundamentals here.)
There is a question I get, fairly frequently, that I do not understand. It is this. “Are you riding today?” The answer is, “Yes.” And on this particular day, I’m going riding, instead of blogging.
See ya!
