Commuting - Steel Fury

Has anyone else ever suddenly (and for no readily apparent reason) got really angry on a commute, and decided to just attack the whole damn thing? I did this last night, and I'm still trying to figure out why. Normally the flat parts don't interest me that much.

:eek:

You are way ahead of me, man! :)

Testosterone surge. Sometimes I just go animal for a few miles.

Me too. Mind you, the animal in question is a three toed sloth.

That's still better than a Dodo.

Yup!

Yep - sometimes something will piss me off - an annoying headwind, or just plain sick of a certain hill, and I just go into attack mode: muscles burning, lungs gasping, don't even change down for hills - stand up and really work it. Then I get even more cross if my speed drops below some arbitrary figure,& work even harder.

Mind you its usually on Mondays or Tuesdays - by Friday, I'm too worn down for anything more than a "nice bicycle ride"

I'm there, man. People ask me, "Are you gonna ride this weekend?" I have to say, "I rest on weekends!" ;)

Every once in awhile I get really mad about something, and if I'm riding a bike at that time I could beat Lance. Usually I only get mad when I am tired, so it doesn't happen that much.

You mean you don't have to really attack it just to get there? :D
