Just Ride
Nike has got it right. Their very simple yet highly effective slogan, "Just Do It" says it all. It doesn't matter how we play our sport, whether we win or not, whether we are world champions or weekend warriors, what matters is that we are participating in our chosen sport. For us it's cycling. It's easy for some of us (myself included) to get caught up in all the fancy cycling training regimes and hardware and software which tracks our every move, counts our every watt, mile per hour and calorie. Yet even we need to step back once in a while and remember that it's the pure joy of riding a bike that got us into this sport. Even more important that the distance your rode, the speed at which you rode it, or the power you put out during your ride, is the fact that you rode. You just rode. So the next time you are struggling over whether to do hill repeats or VO2 max intervals and don't feel like doing either, just ride. It's more important that you ride than not ride because you don't feel like training. So ride my friend, 'Just Ride'.
