I found myself in a real funk recently, unable to be decisive about my upcoming travel plans and I have noticed how much my brain fog and I'll mood is linked to doomscrolling. While this isn't a direct correlation, doomscrolling is something I noticibley begin to do more and more the longer I stay indoors, since on the road I'm very often camping and even if not of course I spend my days cycling. I would he interested to see my outdoor stats but I'm not sure I need a new statistic to he obsessive over right now 😂 I could however, export my ride data and nights spent camping count (already tracked metrics) and calculate a quick minimum for the past year (not counting the three months I've become a plain old inside dweller in Istanbul)
Hi, I have ME/ Cfs, and have always loved the Great Outdoors, and feel grateful for all the wonderful unspoilt scenery I live close to, and all the brilliant scenery I've visited both near and far. But over the last decade or so time indoors and screen time has dominated my life.
Your blog has encouraged me to do something about it..go camping or get an electric bike.. I have a car but only go out for short walks.
I was lucky to have a dad who worked outdoors, and was out in local pubs every evening and took us out for trips at w/e's and every school holiday. He'd been brought up in N Wales, and needed that connection.. I still crave it but lack resources..
Love this article, a great example of “what gets measured gets managed!”

You're right, it isn't very good! I'd hate to get stuck with a heavy bike! However I will keep looking until I can resolve issues..
Thanks
