Many breaks aren't really breaks at all: helmet off, phone out, check messages, carry on. Yet a real break is one of the most valuable moments of a tour – for your body and your mind.
How to make a break a real break
- Leave your phone in your pocket: The first five minutes belong to you, not the screen.
- Move: Stretch, walk a few steps, loosen your shoulders and legs.
- Look back briefly: What has been the best moment of the ride so far? Hold on to it.
The journey is the destination – and breaks are part of it. If you'd like to ride more mindfully, take a look at the guided rides.
