training

The problem with my cycling programme is that I don't know how to just ride.  Most of my rides are done with a purpose to keep myself in shape and for competing in numerous sporting events.  I focus on training and most rides are done with a computer/GPS/HRM because I wanted to keep track on my training progress.  I use my gps to record my races and compare the data with the previous years.

After many years of training and riding for competition, I decided that I need to just ride.  I shouldn't just prepare my bikes for training and racing,  The problem is that I just don't know how. I went through a phase of free riding with a 5 inch full suspension bike.  I shuttled and I rode mountain bike park in the summer.  After 2 seasons of riding those heavy weight machine, I went back to the basic.  I rode hard tail again and I also picked up cyclocross racing. 

2013 is a much different year as I am burning out from training on the water for Dragon Boat Racing, but I still want to retain certain level of fitness because I want to compete in some triathlons for fun.
