Thanks. Yes, sad from an enjoyment perspective. Almost all my rides are a standard course with distributed standing hill intervals. The riding between the hills is used for recovery. Of course
I'd probably live longer if I took it easier and sleep better the night after, but I'm interested in "health span" more than life span. Part of that is trying to keep a higher VO2 max.
I'm often mentally handicapped about doing rides for fun between training rides, because I think it will take the intensity from my next training ride. I obviously need to lighten up.
Rarely I take the MTB out and do some trail clearing. I used to do a few more recreational rides, but the guy I used to do them with quit over winter and hasn't restarting cycling since. He keeps saying he's going to restart. We'll see...
How's the weight loss going for you now?
