DO YOU DO THIS, AND IS IT WEIRD?

DO YOU DO THIS, AND IS IT WEIRD?

I'M TAKING A FEW WEEKS OFF, by that I mean I'm riding with absolutely no agenda and only if I feel like it.  Three days so far this week, and I'm noticing a trend...

... I'm getting really good at my timing.

I have no reason to do this.
No coach in my ear,
No schedule.

Monday I decided I had time for a quick hour on the bike.

Tuesday, I passed on the traditional TMWC and as the day went on I was dying to get out.  I thought I'd go our for 90 minutes and just rip it up for fun.

This afternoon, after grinding straight from 7am to 4ish I really need a mental break and two hours seemed about right.

There are a couple of trends there.

  • Longer rides each day
  • Riding at sunset
  • Predicting ride time

Which I think is kinda weird...

Why am I so bent on ending at just the right?
How am I getting so accurate on ride time?
Is it just a product of playtime on the bike?

... are you as weird as me?

On a related note...

... I never seem to care about hitting a certain mileage on a ride.

It's all about time because miles can vary so much with terrain and weather conditions...

... the body does need a certain amount of time in the saddle to be fit.

Good thing I don't really care about that right now.
