Of course, I rode all but three days in September so that may also have something to do with it. Two of those days in September were my first ever crits.
It's strange. Supposedly after a long arduous physical exercise like biking, you should have felt refreshed. I feel more energized every time after I have biked for more than 10 minutes. Supposedly the adrenaline generated during the riding exercise keeps you high for a while. If I drive home after a day's work I usually feel worn out, but riding bike home makes me feel fresh and high spirited. Perhaps it's because my daily job is all sitting in front of a computer and the change of air gives me of boost of the day.
