  • They provide active recovery, essential respites between hard days of climbing.
  • They sustain my “ride every day” plan.  Often the most difficult hurdle is just starting.  Short rides make it easy to start, because it’s always ok just to ride a few miles.  On the other hand, often what I expect to be a short ride turns into a longer ride because I’m having fun.
  • They invite me to look around, pay attention to stuff.  Incredibly relaxing.
