Zen Days
I'm curious if others experience this. I notice that there are occasional days when cycling is pure pleasure. The bike seems smoother, my riding seems effortless and my body seems happy to provide all the power I need.
There's neither rhyme nor reason to it that I can discover, though it happens most often when I have been off my bike for a day or two because of traveling. But this isn't always the case. Sometimes it's just a typical day but everything seems perfect.
I'm a violinist, and I notice this with my instrument as well. Now and again, the violin and I are in perfect tune, so to speak. So I'm assuming this phenomenon has to do with tasks requiring some coordination of brain and limbs. I never notice it with a car, for example.
I guess ultimately my question is, now does one get more of it!?
