This is true. (Although, as my cycling wardrobe can attest, I *always* want to look FABULOUS on the bike.)

Basically, I want to be faster/stronger. Spending time on the bike is great for burning calories, and I enjoy it, but I also want to be...I guess...efficient with that time. I want to increase both strength and endurance. For example, having done AIDS/LifeCycle twice now I want to be fast enough where I'm not at the end of the pack, being chased out of every rest stop. A lot of that depends on the work with my physical therapist, addressing specific muscle weaknesses I have, but I also want to spend my on-bike time doing the right thing instead of just riding and having fun. I'm not gonna *not* have fun, but I feel it could be more structured and targeted.
