Keeps the voices in my barnet from overpowering me 🤪
Although motivation is important and makes it more enjoyable it's really commitment to your goals that pushes you whether you are motivated or not. You can't always be motivated, but you can always be committed.
Great video as always. What motivates me is a good question, yes I want to be fitter, faster and loose some weight but mostly it helps me cope with the loss of my wife. If I’m having a bad day it’s always better after a ride.
I always remember the wise words of Katie Kookaburra; "Mood follows action". It's served me incredibly well and rings true every ride.
Too bad we view sports in terms of pain & sacrifice; perhaps not necessary for most non-competitors. It helps to focus on true personal currencies: time, attention & will.
Thanks Lou….right now , due to health issues , I am unable to ride …I miss all of the things you mentioned , even the tiredness . Be well
I was really struggling for motivation after RGT folded last year. Now back on track, training for my next Everesting in a few weeks. Definitely helps having something to train for. Also running two weekly group rides for my club. Oh, you're gonna love this: my club is called Team Lou Cycling Club
I get out the door to reduce stress – the hardest part is getting out the door
Okay Lou! Let’s be real! We’re all endorphin addicts. We can’t help ourselves. We have to ride!😂
The Texas MS 150 bike ride is this coming weekend. It's humid and windy. What music do you listen to when you ride? I ride because I used to run marathons but my feet and ankles started to hurt. So riding is my outdoor hobby for exercise, fresh air and traveling.
Why ride? To be more like Lou!! The only rides that have ever caused me regret are the rides that I did not do.
Excellent tips! Love your vlog!
Well, I turn 72 next month, and have been cycling most of my life. Cycling, these days, is not about suffering, but about living. It's about relieving stress, enjoying the outdoors, and feeling my old body pump the pedals after so many years. My parents and grandparents would never have even considered riding bicycles after the age of 50 = heck, I kid myself, they didn't ride bicycles after their teens. I still do so, and hope to do so for another 10 or 20 years. I'm so glad that da Vinci invented the bicycle centuries ago, and that I am privileged to ride. Suffering is what would happen if the bicycle wasn't available to me in my older years. Cheers.
Wise words Lou 👍
Motivation for getting up and out is the main thing I struggle with in the mornings, does help if the bike is in the house preped and ready to go.

Wow, I make similar cycling videos, got 380 subs in 1 week 😂😂😂
