Is it "fun"? And do I "enjoy" it? Absolutely. However, my definition of those words might vary slightly from the conventional. I love the easy days. the ones that were the wind's at your back, and the ride is downhill, and you see lots along the way. I'm also immensely satisfied with the hard days, where you get flats and other mechanical issues you need to figure out. When the weather's tough, with no signs of letting up, and you still have to log another 60km before you're at camp. Why? Because you eventually get there, you crack open a beer, and say "It sucked, but I wouldn't change a thing."

Mind you, I've never gotten sick or injured on a tour. Just tired and sore.
