Good for you for the epiphany!!! About 5 years ago I got so caught up in mileage/avg/competing and it totally burned me out. I didn't do anything for almost a year. Now I ride for fun and because I want to. I still do triathlons and hang with the same crowd, but I'm SOOO much slower now. I don't even care. I want to do it for fun and because I like it.
Good on ya!!
