10,000 x 0 = 0
It doesn’t matter how many miles you dream of riding—if you don’t start, the total is still nothing. 10,000 × 0 = 0.
Don’t overthink it. Don’t put it off. Just clip in and go.
Some rides are short—just a spin to loosen the legs. Others need planning—food, kit, route, weather. But whether it’s 5 miles or 100, every pedal stroke adds up. Every ride counts. Miss them all, and you’re left with zero. Do one, and you’re already winning.
So, stop waiting. Roll out today.
