Plan the Ride, Ride the Plan
We have all planned an ‘epic’; a ride or run that conquers some towering climb or vast distance. Sat in the warm on a comfy couch drawing lines on a map, it looks simple, no problem. It all suddenly becomes very real when you are geared up and starting the gps at the beginning, of what now, seems like an over ambitious plan. As the miles slowly click by, the little voice in your head starts telling you; ‘take that shortcut’ or ‘duck out early’. These get louder and louder and the excuses it gives you to justify them get ever more acceptable. No; you planned this believing you could complete it and you can. Never Follow and never doubt your ability to conquer; plan the ride and then ride the plan, no matter what.
