In my experience it did, but everyone is different. I initially set a goal then I thought more and more - and it already started getting to me. By yesterday - January 3rd - I was in the throes of guilt for not riding yet in 2009 (moving.. never.. again..) and said "enough!"

It's going to kill me not to track, Neil. Good luck on your journey, with you I know it's more about the journey anyway, I wish I was wired that way

Oh, and I'm thinking of putting together a Big Dummy pimped out with a Stokemonkey electric assist and Nuvinci IGH. It's going to be a beast! (If I can get over the sticker shock, that is.)
Dude.. the jealousy. Seriously. But why a Stokemonkey? Just build up the legs, you can do it!!

I never "got" cadence. I mean, I know you should go at a certain cadence blah blah blah, but I'm glad I never tried to watch it. I know I mash, and I'm proud of it. The monster mash. Okay, I must have more coffee...
