Another one...
I LOVE that bicycling DOES NOT FEEL LIKE EXERCISE!!!

I love....
- When the guys on the shop ride tell me that they're going to kick my out of the "B-group" because I'm too fast!
- Being the first to the top of the hill (okay, it doesn't happen often, but every so often, boy! It's sweet).
- When the DH brags about my riding in front of the guys.
- When it all just "clicks" - the legs are turning smooth circles and the tires are humming along - when the miles are disappearing behind me and the smiles are stretched out before me.

I think I'm getting the hang of it!
I love that I made it through 10 miles yesterday clipless and I DID NOT FALL, not even close! Thanks to all the gal here that gave me some good advice and cheering up/reality check that I am not a total klutz, just normal. Yeah!!

the sound of "clacking" my brake levers to alert a squirrel in the road.

I love that cycling makes me feel like whistling a tune, which I do often, and I can even whistle going up the 17% grade near my house!

At this point what to add that hasn't already been said. I love all that - especially when the SO (who doesn't ride) brags about me!
I love taking my bike when we travel and all the adventures we have.
I love the wildlife here, there and everywhere...anyone else almost hit a wild turkey?
I love that I'm not intimidated by hills, even the steep ones. If they can rise relentlessly, I can attack relentlessly.
I love that grease marks mean I that am capable of fixing my own bike on the fly and changing my own tires.
I love the sound of everybody clipping in as the race starts.
I love that at 46 I'm racing with 20-somethings.

I love the solitude of my own thoughts when I ride alone.........
I love the comraderie of other riders when I ride with friends. And I have made SO MANY friends through cycling.
I love/need/crave being on my bike and pedaling those awesome circles that take me wherever I want/ need to go.
