I'm not saying that I'm riding to get fit. I love to ride and getting fit is a byproduct. The more fit I am, the more fun I have on the trail though.
I will say though...you're on the way to being just like this dude. You've got several years on me and I'd hate to have to "push it" on a 3hr ride with you and expect to keep up.
Heck man...even your wife has more "all day endurance" than this sprout.
