Another tip: Ride a gravel bike and plan routes that include singletrack between stretches of asphalt. Stop for cake and coffee. Do discovery rides to try new roads and refine your existing routes, like have different versions of a route where you try new roads/paths/trails.
I find that regular AirPods are great for this because I can hear everything that’s going on even with music quite loud. The only downside side to this is that when the bike starts to squeak, you can hear that too 😂
Thanks for the advice 🤘🏼 can guarantee you I’ll never be on a bike for 3 hours, but will keep it in mind if I ever go insane ☺️
Hahaha, you will do 3 hrs one day. A family charity ride coming up 😂

Love this idea! Adventuring is very enjoyable especially when you get a bit lost!
Step 1 is surely: Make sure it’s a 3hr mountain bike ride.
No other steps needed 🤷🏼♂️
Going on a 2hr MTB always turns into 4-5hrs lol😅
Sounds enjoyable, good to mix it up from time to time. I’m going bikepacking soon so that will be my off-roady bit of riding.
@@florian808 4-5hrs of joy 😊🤘🏻
The only time i get bored on the bike is indoors. I can ride outside all day, by myself with no music without getting bored
Indoors is rather dreadful unless you have intervals 😂
Well done for doing so much talking whilst riding 👏🏻
Thanks 🙏 hope the video helps
How do you stay aware of surroundings when listening to music/podcasts with headphones in? Great tips though

Tip #13: if you really are unmotivated to ride long, you may be slipping into a state of over-training.
Yes definitely something to be careful of, my dream is to be a pro so that keeps me going
Says the kid who always lets his equipment run flat 😅
Ok thats fair, but exactly why it is in the video because it is so annoying for me!! 🤣
if you are bored on the bike just change sports. There are plenty of other activities to do, why bother doing something boring
I’m addicted to cycling but if you get a bit tired in any sport and don’t mix things up you are going to get bored! Same with video games 😂
