In cycling on Saturday mornings I keep Saturday afternoon free for other things. I can take care of washing clothes and more. It also gives me time to rest and recover before Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>By accident I signed up for a hike and now I am torn between going for the hike, which requires trains, and potentially meeting two or three people, or sticking to my usual plan of going for a bike ride.<\/p>\n<p>If the hike was on Sunday then this would be ideal, as I can do both on the same weekend. As they are on the same day I have to choose. Rationally I have to go for the bike ride because I have wanted to have a group to cycle with for years.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing I do not know what the route will be but I know that the cycling loop should be about fifty five kilometres. This weekend I do not want to push myself hard.<\/p>\n<p>I know that I have the endurance to push myself on Saturday and Sunday, as proved last weekend. With potential rain on Saturday, and Sunday it doesn&#8217;t make sense to plan something too far away, although with clouds it can be good for taking photos.<\/p>\n<h2>And Finally<\/h2>\n<p>Two weekends in a row I pushed myself to my limit with cycling groups. I am now confident that I can go for a bike ride on Saturday, and then hike on Sunday. If the weather was better for Sunday afternoon and evening I would be tempted to organise a hike.<\/p>\n<p>We will see how I feel after a short walk this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>I am in the process of forming a new habit and that habit is to cycle on Saturday mornings.
