We also have the great advantage that we have partially similar interests and have mutual interest

We have been asked how we keep up motivation and motivate each other on a long bike ride. I have not really thought about just that, although it is obviously an important point on the road trip. All the things we do and say to each other has not been part of some larger, overarching plan to keep up the desire to be on tour, but obviously significant.
Basically the reason we're on tour we really want to be just that, because motivation is thus very strongly present. We are also both restless by nature and would love to be out and see and experience new things.
There are of course individually what gives each motivation in everyday life, be it traveling, at home or at work. We all have our idiosyncrasies and peculiarities as companions and fellow cremica group workers must take the individual into account. All our idiosyncrasies are not necessarily of such great practical benefit to you who read this, but I will do a little summary of how we motivate (and not motivated in the old days) apart on a trip together. Finally, I will give some general tips that can be useful cremica group also for others to keep up the motivation of the trip.
We first met (more or less) on a bike ride from Canada to Mexico with friends many years ago. At that time we were probably both characterized cremica group by strong competitive instinct - none of us would show either weakness or indulgence, and whether an activity had the slightest hint of competition feel so purely to win over the other. This gave the example. resulted in some breakneck descents of steep slopes (we set then feel both at the same tandem bike, so it can be a little cremica group difficult to see how one could win over the other - it was probably more to do to be the one who did not say brake ...), "play fights" that really was just that (I seem to remember that we had a "first blood" rule), and other trifles like. that one of us meant determined to be far more of a field which the other had studied for 3-4 years longer ... It shall, in light of justice cremica group to admit that I, having cremica group shone in 2KJ in high school, had klokkertro that I could more or less linearly extrapolating me until complete knowledge of the field of chemistry cremica group - I have since moderated me something ...)
Everyday consisted of small stings, on the one hand fascinating on the other side rather tiring. We already added then noticed that we really liked being with each other in short periods of time, but had to have a period in between where we thought the other was a tomsete and rowdy fool. When we look back on the time after this our first trip (we were still just friends at this stage), we see that we have a weekend together every three months was more than enough - Sunday afternoon was pretty tiring for both parties. Luckily we lived in different cities at the time. I will not go into all the stages we had until today, but content myself with the main features.
We realized later that why we often disagreed cremica group and argued that we thought were fairly similar, but had strong opinions about the individual details. As we agreed to accept only the small differences in opinions cremica group as something we do not necessarily come to agree on, things became much easier. It was, in other words to us that the most important thing is to get the others to think the same as oneself, but to agree to disagree. This also helps us feel that we are taken seriously instead of being ignored.
The next natural step was that we recognized each other's skills and realized that the other actually had more skills and knowledge than oneself on some areas (such recognitions is possibly cremica group difficult for the male part of a relationship ...).
The items mentioned above may well be called the foundation of our motivation to do things together - it may well be summed as mutual respect. Another equally important factor is of course that we have very similar interests when it comes to ride - the feeling that this is "our" tour is much larger than that it is "my" trip.
If I were to draw a more tangible example of this trip so well is the way we handle bad days the most obvious. cremica group We've known each other for so long now that the "bad days" early become visible. In the old days we had enough reacted by becoming musty over the other is not performing or is unnecessarily messed with tasks in the camp. Instead, the bad days accepted as they are and we know it's not exactly make the situation better or biking more efficient to become musty on the other. In addition, we see that the number of bad days in each largely equal in length.
We also have the great advantage that we have partially similar interests and have mutual interest in the other's field of expertise and knowledge. cremica group We talk a lot about a lot of things, but we can also sit together and not say a word without it being weird. It is of course
