I ride mostly off-street, so it’s low stress, time to zone out, let my mind do what it needs to. I can adapt the route to how much of a challenge I’m up to - it can be a quick 7 miles just to get my heart going a bit, up to 20 with some jumps and gravel grinding if I want that wrung-out feeling after a workout.
What about it makes you feel better? I’m just trying to prompt conversation around the role of physical activity in mental health.
