Sometimes I hate cycling... like proper... especially the run to work... lots of drivers just in your way slowing you down, being cunts.
Last Saturday and the Sunday a fortnight before I remembered why I cycle, and fuck me I felt great that day even with the aches and pains I had afterwards from me actually exercising.
I dunno about you guys I managed to summon my some sort of super strength where I become an almost invincible super rider at least in my own mind, I can seem to ride as fast as I wish to ride effortlessly ... "Oh I want to get out the seat and sprint up this hill ... no problem" ... "I wanna catch up with that car, no problem".
If I am in this zone for long enough, my adrenaline goes into the statosphere and I will pedal at maximum power until I am physically drained and it is soo hard to stop myself doing it because if it happens half way through a ride I a completely spent and have a hard time completing the ride but for the 10-40 minutes I can keep it up I feel all powerful and I cycle for it.
