We’ve heard professional chefs usually have simple breakfasts: oatmeal, yogurt, that sort of thing.The idea is, if you aregoing to be critical and discerningwithyour food all day, you might not feel like engaging that kind of intellect first thing in the morning. Start simple. Begin at the beginning.
Wethinkwe understand.Whenwe reflect on our typical morning ride at Seven,it’s an uneventful out-and-back on the Minuteman Bikeway with a stop in Lexington Center for coffee. No traffic, no crowds, no climbs, no egos, no going fast. Just a lethargic double paceline and base conversation peppered with bad jokes and proclamations of needing to drop five pounds or racing ‘cross next season.Some might ask, “why bother?” Rides should be exciting, epic, adrenaline-filled multi-hour slugfests, right?Those types of rides are fun, but not every day.
Asa crewwhoare critical of bicycles and cycling all day and every day,we likea plain-as-vanilla morning ride.
