Today I did a
Sluggo Ride. It was the first I've been on in quite some time, maybe since April.
I did a lot of these rides during the early season; they're great long base mile rides, and they're the some of the most fun rides I've ever done. So, here's how to have fun on your bike:
- Get together a bunch of great people who are fun to talk to, who know how to keep a steady pace, and who don't feel like they have to try and show everyone how "fast" or "strong" they are, all the time.
- Choose a long, interesting route, preferably between 50 and 100 miles.
- Ride. Ride steady. Take your pull, or don't. Whatever, it's fun.
- After the ride, gather for beer and chocolate. Talk about whatever; laugh, eat, drink, be merry.
And there you have it. That's how you have fun on your bike. Of course, there are many ways to have fun on your bike; really any time you're on a bike, it's fun. But this is a guaranteed riot, every time. Follow those simple steps and if you don't have fun on your bike, it's your own dang fault.
