Riding Solo - Need advice!

1. Do your TR workouts outside.
2. Strava anyone? Find some segments to go and attempt. As you ride from one to the next you’ll be thinking about your task at hand, so the time should pass quicker.
3. Listen to music or podcasts. You can get a speaker, standard headseat or what I recently purchased, aftershockz they don’t go in your ear.
4. Build routes and go explore a bit.

This is excellent advice.

My advice is unorthodox: get a TT bike. Faster is more fun, the speed gives you momentum that makes it easier to push the pedals, and a TT bike is very comfortable when well fitted. My rides went up 10% in speed (for the same power) when I re-activated the TT bike last week and it makes a real difference in both “being interesting” and in RPE.
