"I'd rather be climbing a mountain thinking about God than sitting in a church thinking about climbing a mountain"
I saw that on a hiking forum and I really liked it. For the sake of this forum we can replace "climbing a mountain" with "riding my bike" (unless of course you like to climb mountains on your bike . . .).
I'm not religious myself, I'm more with the spiritual nature-loving crowd. I like to be outdoors to experience the connectedness of living things with nature.

The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

My family stopped going to church (Calvin Presbyterian) when I was very young. Mom was at some kind of a social thing, a tea perhaps, when, as she put it "one of the good church ladies" made a remark about the church allowing "those people" in. "Those people" were African Americans. Mom left, and announced we would never be back.
