Cycling and your relationship.

[Trek420]

I'd run away if I were you...

Isn't that a line in the Wizard of Oz?? Nah, not runin'. You know my knees are shot I can't run

I have a theory that we're different somehow, we few we happy few who like endurance sports

I've never been sure how to explain it, maybe it's genetic.

But there's something about we like things that are painfull to others (and not in a kinky way ).

Climbing's hard and I'll have to get off and walk but I like it and feel good after. Not just the endorfin rush, the view or the downhill run or recovery meal.

I know it's making me stronger, and of course there's food after I can veg and watch TV or TE, but only if I got an hour of excersise or more that day. Otherwise stand back.

So when we have this in common with our SO it's nice. Doesn't whether we ride together, wait for the other at the top or one is at home making the recovery meal, hats off to our them and to single TE'ers future SO's.

My totally unfounded theory is when you have that in your DNA so to speak it makes processes like Bikeomoma's DH journey back to fitness easier and maybe even dealing with injuries, illness. He's felt this before, likes feeling fit and working out. Hopefully it'll be like old home week "oh, yeah, I like that".

Sure it'll take a while but he knows the route.

All my family all do something active. There may be something to this but I don't care, just like cycling.
