Just keep showing up

Just keep showing up. Today wasn’t the first time I’ve heard these words of wisdom, but I was reminded why they are perhaps the most valuable words of advice for riders of every level in any discipline.

When things get too busy, too stressful, too cold, or just too hard, it’s tempting to put riding on the back burner and take a little break. Don’t. Just keep showing up.

When every ride feels like two steps backwards, keep showing up. When your mind is spinning from stress at home or at work, keep showing up.

When winter sucks away every ounce of your motivation, keep showing up. When you’re overwhelmed with anxiety or frozen with fear, keep showing up. When you suddenly have a breakthrough, keep showing up. When you hit that goal you’ve been working towards for months, keep showing up.

​The only way to make progress is to just keep showing up, day after day, week after week. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Excellent words of advice. When it is freezing, or hurricane-ing here in Alberta, or just plain don't feel like it, I take this advice. And a little bit is more than none!
