He also said, "You should never do a ride you wouldn't want to do every day. Well maybe 4 times a year, 5 tops." I love that.

Grant mentioned this to me a few weeks ago and I thought I'd pass it along: "A 10 to 30 minute ride is always a good idea." I really appreciated this because - although I'm not trying to bust out metric centuries anymore - I still have a tendency to think short rides don't count as a "real ride." Of course that's silly, but apparently I needed to be reminded. Today I had exactly 30 minutes available before work started, so I grabbed my Bobbin mini velo (Choco-Moose bars) and hit the road. It was fabulous.He also said, "You should never do a ride you wouldn't want to do every day. Well maybe 4 times a year, 5 tops." I love that.
As ANT bicycles said once upon a time: "transport, not sport". There is great value in riding for commutes, errands, and slow rides ridden just for the sake of enjoyment. Exercise is a happy byproduct. Tim Petersen

That's kind of a weird saying?! Why not sport? Yes, during the week, "transportation riding" is great. We see lots of people commuting to and from work here in SF. Hey, lots of people have *electric bikes* and commute with their children/groceries, etc. It sure beats driving a minivan! (ask me how I know!)
But on weekend, why not ride for sport (fun)?! My buddies and I like to go for nice 40 miles with lots of hills (I ride in the SF bay area and hills are a way of life) and when we have the time, as much as 80 miles! It is fun and we get tons of exercise. I have one friend who in the last 4 years got into cycling (from golf!) and has lost like 30+ pounds! He now flies up the hill and really enjoys it! Btw, he's got the latest carbon Trek with di2 and loves it. Hey, if it gets him out and riding, I'm all for it.
Further, ANT sells a touring bike. Wouldn't riding out in the country or going on a tour be a form of "sport?" Seems more sporty than transportation.
Meatball sub run at 9:30 pm!!! Fun!!!
6.8 miles on the folder yesterday, to the hole-in-the-wall cobbler, who will put moccasin soles on an old pair of Timberlands, and fix the corners of the hassock cushion that the new dog chewed holes in.
I felt better!
Mental health is less easy to document as it's far more variable between people.
I'd say that anyone getting out is good whether it's a 10 minute ride, a 10 hour ride, a 10 Pokemon walk or anything else.

My wife has started to ride to work with me in the mornings (5 miles), and it has been really fun!! It forced me to explore new routes (my route was the shortest distance between two points and was a little sketchy for her). She usually wants to take the harder route through the big drainage we have to cross because she likes to race me up the other side and she usually wins (because I'm not stupid). The mornings are spectacular where I live and so my rides to work in the morning with my wife are my favorite rides! All done in my work clothes!
I was reminded of Grants message to not ruin the joy of just riding by making it all about the challenge or keeping score this weekend. My neighbors who know I ride talked me into helping them fill a spot on their relay race team in a race from Salt Lake to Las Vegas. It was good to spend time with friends, and I enjoyed my legs of the event even though it was super hot.
