Another Kind of Early Morning Coffee Ride

Today I talk about (and show in video) what it's like to focus on a priority that is not cycling as quickly as possible, and instead enjoying the destination *and* the ride.

Today I headed off into a cool, damp, dark fall morning expecting to have a homemade coffee at sunrise. Instead I had a more unique and lovely experience to start my day.
On the 21st of September Todd talks about the importance of persisting doing the things you love even when your mind tells you that you won't enjoy it or that it's pointless.
Also: Even if you don't read the whole entry, do go in and watch Demi Adejuyigbe's videos. They're a delight.

The first phase of the "Brick by Brick" project is over after a week that ended in an unexpected way. But as one phase ends, a new one will be beginning soon.
This week I continue to look at optimizing my exercise, diet and sleep goals and it's all improving! Along the way I share this week's POV cycling videos, and some new insights and correlations.
