Problem with endorphins is that they are unreliable. They need something to trigger it and the Action of them is sometimes delayed. Doing a hill with ease that had previously been hard- Finishing a gruelling ride in a good time- but it has taken so much out of you that you cannot think straight to realise it at the time. Or the best one is just reaching a goal soomer than you expected.

The best high I ever had was when I finished the SDW ride in 2003 after 6 months hard training- to find that I had done the best time I had ever done it in- The first-Or second as I was stoker- to finish it on a Tandem and that I was the oldest rider to have completed it in the 6 years it had been running. Only problem was that I was so shattered- it did not hit me till the nexr day and by that time- I could not move as I was stretched out in the Hammock trying to summon up enough strength to shout for another coffee and a Burger.
