Any health benefits I gain from pointless riding are merely the icing on the fun cake. As I've said before...I'd probably ride even if riding wasn't good for me.
+1 My wife and I do "fun" rides four or five days a week, typically 25 or 30 miles. These rides provide exercise so "pointless" is a stretch but we don't push into the true training level and there are no "goals" attached to them. I have started going to a spinning class once a week that cranks the training up to a high level. That is about all of that stuff I can stand.
