I’ve started doing indoor stationary bike HIIT now that there’s a lot of snow limiting my ride distances, the way I describe it to people is “cycling but without any of the fun bits”

I got a Swift hub last winter. It sucked so much joy out of riding (and soul out of me) that I didn‘t want to ride until may.
This year I just switch to running during the cold months.

On the flip side, embracing the suck of indoor riding for dedicated training time means I can enjoy outdoor riding so much more because I’m only focusing on enjoying the ride instead of training.

Did a 45-minute session on the indoor bike today. When I stepped off, my daughter had graduated college, gotten married, and introduced me to my three grandkids. Rest of family had long given up, assuming I’d joined some secret society. The mailman handed me a pile of Welcome Back cards, and the neighborss kid, who was five when I started, now asked me for stock advice. I think I saw a historian taking notes in the corner.
