I don't know guys. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed by the obsessive-compulsive concern for beating ourselves up to better who we already are.

Whether you are a skinned-suited Cat 1 racer or the avid club member, you are a recreational bike rider. In my opinion, the bicyclist is the one who will go out one day to try a beat his personal best and later roll up his right leg of his 501's and cruise the town not wondering who is looking at him. I'd much prefer seeing cycling as part of a lifestyle than a Type A showdown everyday.

Sorry for the rant, I just passed a kidney stone. Bear with me.
