I recently found myself doing my long ride for the week while listening to a lecture that wasn’t all that engaging with music on in the background to help keep my pace up.
It has felt much better lately to just get in the groove with riding and music, but I have a lot to do over the weekend and I’m feeling short on time, so for better or for worse I multi-tasked a little more. I’m sure I got less of a great bike ride out of it…but sometimes we make do.
