Don't feel like a loser. On the grand scale you are in the top 1% if you include the general population. Some would think I ride a lot but I feel like a loser compared to someone who's done a 1200k. Of course that person who has done a 1200k might feel like a loser to someone who does 3 or 4 a year. It is all relative. Even if you do a 300k or a 200k you are going far beyond the norm for road cyclists.
