Ditto about pressure. MTBs and running are my pressure relief valves and while some rides are workouts (only on my personal trail) others are for the sheer joy of riding trails. When I’m on a new trail, I want to experience it; see it, feel it, touch it. No, I’m not riding idly along but I’m not running people off the trail because I’m on a Strava mission. Ultimately it’s what you want but when the thought of a ride puts pressure on you and makes you feel like you must hit a certain level for it to be successful, eventually you’ll stop riding. Just like you balance on a MTB, you balance your rides.
