What do you think about on a solo ride?

Usually nothing. Don't know how to explain it. The world just goes away and I suffer on the bike. No reason for me to suffer since I don't race but for some reason I like to make myself hurt. I think that is one thing that separates cyclist from other athletes. Being on the road by myself is nirvana.

I even dumped my cycling computer because it made cycling more like a chore. I had to hit those numbers and it completely ruined the joy of riding a bike.
 
Same. No road computee any longer. Alao feel better since I no longer use Strava too. It is nice to have the aggregated data but like the freedom of dataless more. Follow your own legs and heart.

I definitely focus on the data not the views. I am fortunate enough to live near some stunning scenery but unless I’m in a car I am focusing on my power not the stunning views.

Years ago I’d do indoor sessions listening to Metallica but these days stick with the numbers even if that sounds boring which it kind of is if you dwell on it.

I prefer numbers when I’m indoors and find that I naturally gravitate toward intervals and exact numbers for indoor sessions. Outdoors it’s all by feel and I usually increase intensity throughout the ride and get into more of a mindless flow at that point if it’s a good session.

Guys, if I take my dogs with me, then my thoughts are only about how they would not begin to break out of the front bucket of my cargo bicycle (of course they do it because of cats) o_Oo_O

But in general, I like active pastimes with my pets. And I can recommend cargo bikes for all of you since it is very fun. Has anyone tried it?
