Cycling can be a very rewarding experience when you know what targets to strive for. Building a training plan and regime can go a long way towards seeing a physical improvement that makes cycling an ultimately much more enjoyable experience. With set goals, there is always an area for improvement to fight on and get more out of your cycling.
Cycling can be a daunting thing to get into at an entry level. How far should I go? Where should I go? How do I do it? I’m sure there will be plenty of questions. However, the most important thing to prepare for cycling on a regular basis is your physicality - if you don’t get your body ready to take on a full-on workout like cycling, then you’re risking injury or burnout.

If you like your cycling, it’s well worth finding new routes to take or exploring unknown areas that you don’t typically travel on, or styles that you’ve never tried before and you’ll soon find yourself becoming a better, fitter cyclist because of your adaptability to certain terrain.
