To me it's a hobby and a way to keep in shape, and to also socialize with other cyclists. But it comes to a point where "doing something else" overrides my desire to sit on the saddle any longer.
But that's me.
I haven't done long enough rides to know, but I'm guessing I'd feel the same unless the terrain was extraordinary. I usually cross train at the gym most days probably for that same reason, and to give a little balance to my upper body.
