This went out to subscribers last week. "If you aim to cycle 400km but only ride 200km, have you failed? I’d argue that time spent on a bike is never wasted. Even the most disastrous ride, beset by mechanical issues and poor weather, is rarely a failure. It builds stores of resourcefulness, resilience and self-esteem. Departures feel less of a big deal if you can adopt this mindset – focusing on the process, not the outcome." https://www.mattpedals.bike/the-art-of-departure/?gift=FwvdSOKWycLG6U8UgQ0D0MgxZ3hoQBh8 #cycling #walking #biketooter #blog
