How Staying in the Present Moment Helped Me in Life & on the Bike

I filmed this video near the end of my 3500m elevation ride yesterday. It is just something I had on my mind while struggling up a 17% gradient driveway so I hope you enjoy haha. Staying in the present moment has really helped my cycling and helped me in life so I thought I’d share with you why that is.

I remember how hard long rides used to be for me. Physically I could handle them but mentally I was making things near impossible for myself.
My mind would always want to jump forward in time and remind me of how far I still have to go.
That is one of the ways staying in the present moment has helped me on the bike. I talk about it a lot more in the video.
