If, as we have proposed in the previous point, you train on a regular basis and you like challenges and new experiences on two wheels, do not miss the opportunity to participate in a ride.

When you train, either alone or in a group, it always helps to be more motivated to have a goal in mind. Setting a race on the calendar and basing your training on reaching it in good condition is a unique experience. Not only will you enjoy the race, but at the end, when you cross the finish line, you will value all the ways and the training that has led you to complete it. You will be proud of what you have achieved and you will be eager to keep on improving yourself.

However, this point is an evolution of taking your bike on a regular basis and training with it. That is to say, you don't want to run too much and sign up for a ride soon after you start riding or without the proper training, as this can result in a bad experience. As with everything in life, every finish line has work and perseverance behind it.
