Just ride my friend the most you can, or have a really really bad crash.

Take a day off, get back on your bike and hit the trail like its never been hit before...

I hear you there. The last two weeks were spent doing a final project. The few days is cramming for my friday math exam. The weekend is for cramming for mondays exam. The days between then and thursday is for writing a paper. The days after that? Riding bliss. :D

I always feel like riding whenever it's dark outside, and I can't actually ride... then by the morning I'm tired and don't feel like getting up, but going for a leasurely ride in the morning is a great way to wake up.

I sold my car to buy a bike. I'm 22 and I hardly ever party; sleep, rest, and recovery for another day of biking are my primary priorities in life. It's too bad I know no one else like me.

I'm like you bro.
I dont drink at all, I dispise bars/clubs, and the whole club culture. I work to buy bike parts, and bike stuff only (other than rent, food, gym membership costs), I have no cell phone, no computer, no car, no way to contact me other than work. I dont sleep much, and no matter how I feel, or the weather, I will always ride.
Always

Though you don't get weekends off at college and you don't have to do work 12 hours a day most of the time in the "real world". Sadly some of us still have to work in the summer as it is so yeah...I'll take a "real" job at the moment :)
