This week’s Sunday Strides starts with a conversation Lorna had with one of her sons, and how that moment perfectly mirrors a challenge so many riders face...
Avoiding the parts of the ride that don’t feel good.
In this episode, Lorna shares why recognizing what’s “wrong” in your riding isn’t a setback. It’s actually the start of something better.
Because the truth is, you can’t fix what you’re not willing to see.
Whether it’s a messy transition, an avoided exercise, or a mindset that’s quietly holding you back, progress begins with honest reflection.
🐴 In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
-
Why riders often avoid the discomfort of noticing mistakes
-
The real cost of only focusing on the “good” parts of your ride
-
How emotional honesty in the saddle builds trust & progress
-
Why getting something “wrong” is actually a sign you’re growing
-
A small challenge to help you see clearly—and ride forward—this week
