Hello Readers,
Seeing as how I live in a popular city like Denver, convenient and safe riding options are not what I would consider ideal. Last year I rode the same trail almost every day and rode around the same state park countless times. This often made training seem tedious and fairly mundane. There were times were I didn't want to ride simply because I was bored of riding the same route. I wanted to try and ride different trials and get to the mountains more often but I didn't have a driver's license at that point. This year I hope to make training more exciting by riding different routes around Denver and also riding in nearby areas like Colorado Springs or Boulder.
If you find yourself getting tired of your training routine I would try tagging along with a friend or teammate on their favorite roads or trails. Or even better, try a mountain bike or cross ride to mix things up a little bit. You don't want to get tired of your training routes during the early season. I can tell you from experience that when this happens you loose a lot of motivation. A loss in motivation is NOT what you want when you're preparing for the upcoming season.
If you have anything specific you want me to write about next time please leave a comment below or message me on Facebook.
Thanks for reading,
Jackson Hootman
