It's a question that I've seen asked regularly on the various training/TrainerRoad/Zwift threads, so thought it might be good to have a place to say what you hope to achieve and your personal goals, however big or small. Not really a 'why do you ride', rather what specific reasons you might have for putting in countless hours on the turbo trainer or in the gym? Are you still full on training, despite the lack of actual racing this year? Future goals? Do you even know?
Plenty of people on here train for actual races, but I don't think that necessarily makes their training more 'important' than those who don't. So, apart from ( and including ) people on here who have stepped on a podium in their lifetime, what makes you want to put yourself through it all?
