Interesting page, I reckon, with "Isn't cycling fun?" at its centre.
Me? I think that the line between genuine enjoyment and questionable self-improvement (my own - and not for a moment anyone else's) is extremely blurry. I always aim for the former; though I often wander into the latter, and the point at which one becomes the other I find bloody hard to spot.
This year I've attempted a lot of trips that have pushed me particularly hard because that's from where I glean a substantial amount of fun. I hopefully off to The Lakes at the weekend (fingers crossed - it's subject to the weather), which I'm looking forward to very much.
However, I have also finished rides this year with a, "Well, that was needlessly difficult", with the previous weekend being a possible example. Was it worth the effort? I'm still making up my mind.
Tom. Fixed and gentle? That's just the ticket, that is. Absolutely. Sorry if any of the ridiculous leg-pulling went down the wrong way.
Dan. You are going to have a blast on your UK tour, guaranteed. You'll surprise yourself. Chocks a-fucking-way mate.
I'm now going to stare at my belly button for a bit, and then it's off to bed.
