Greetings, I ride solo almost everyday. I never get bored and If I didn’t have a family I could see myself creeping into Freddy Hoffman territory. Almost 95% of my rides are out and backs from my Seattle home and none of them are ever exactly the same path. I have several basic ride “routes” and usually leave with a plan but my a red light or a whim can alter my course in a 180 direction. I do like to listen to music on long trails. If I don’t have my phone songs/jingles/old army marching riffs often go on repeat in my brain. I used to run marathons and ultras so I’m used to using repetitive sounds to get in a zone. I’ve also used other mind games to mix it up. Example: I’ll sometimes pick a destination across town and will try a riding in a pattern to get there (1block north, 1 block east, repeat til you there and see how close you get). Another thing I sometimes do is follow all roads that go up. In our hilly area this can take you to some really scenic spots and is also a great workout. I’ve also looked up the steepest hills in the city and have done rides climbing as many as I can find...we’ve got some steep ones!! The main thing I do though is take pictures. There is always something interesting to see and it motivates me to keep exploring and find new places/things...,evidence in the links below. Enough words...I’m going for a ride.
