Addiction to suffering

[Kano]

Oh boy, do I relate to riding with the man in our life thing -- mine pushes me a bit every time we're out too. He's been trying to build me up. Well, something happened to me riding lately and I'm riding better, kind of suddenly, and he's still pushing me, but the funny thing about this is that it means he's busting out of his comfort zone to do it! Last few rides, it seems I've been "beating him up" a bit -- he's been pretty wiped out by the end, and it lasts him all day long!

For me, it's about:

1. Setting a goal and achieving it.
2. The endorphin rush
3. Pushing for a new personal best
4. The endorphin rush
5. Experimenting with nutrition
6. The endorphin rush

Get a camelback or something like it. I rode with a group like that on Tuesday and tried out a new mirror. I never had time to even touch the mirror
but i had plenty of water to drink.. and drank it!

I really recommend that you only use the water bottles when you're off the bike.

You said it, dogmama It's pretty much a conditioned response to something that's pleasant in the long run...
