Training–Gotta get started
by Matt
Short and simple: the way to start training for the ride is to start riding.
Most of us are not used to riding for its own sake, its own pleasure. We think we have to be going somewhere, or to have a particular training goal.
But long(er)-distance bicycling is about getting on your bike and going. Not fast, not flashy. Just going.
If you get on your bicycle and do a five mile ride (gasp! five miles?), you’re on your way.
