The winter time is a much welcomed break from leg shaving…

Get back to riding every day.
Get out of the habit of eating a ton of sugar.
Race the shit out of my mountain bike.

Get less ‘serious’ about riding. Remember what made bikes fun. Enjoy my time in the saddle.

This. Getting serious about my riding made me ride less. I’m not an athlete; I’m just some dude who loves bikes.

This. There are things I want to accomplish in riding, I think, but first and foremost I want to just keep riding, and to keep riding _fun_.

Exactly.
I’ve put on more miles this summer than any year previously. I’ve done some of my longest solo rides, group races, and charity rides. I’ve gotten faster and become more fit. I’m proud of myself too, I’ve done things I didn’t think I was capable of.
I’ve also obsessed more about bike fit, meaningless aesthetics, working on my spin, proper RPMs, what gear I should be in, and legitimizing myself in some way. None of which are necessarily bad things.
I do have plans to race competitively and to continue doing longer/faster/more serious events but would like to think less about putting on that thirty miles a day and too look at my computer less.
Also…
I’m inclined to mention my desire to avoid the kind of many…many injuries I’ve sustained over this previous season but feel like that’d just be jinxing myself.
