Do you like talking on the road or not?

I ride with a super nice guy that talks nearly non-stop. It helps to take your mind off of the pain if it's a tough ride.

This made me think of my partner... he does this, intentionally I think... just chats beside me as I mash my painful way up a nasty hill... it takes my mind off the discomfort and I can maintain my rythym!
