Riding away (impulse:rumming away) from my life/stress/kid's teen-age tempers etc....and after some 20 miles, I'm ready to come home again, refreshed.

I can replace 'couch potato' and 'pigging out' with 'recovery' and 'refueling'. Even after overindulging, instead of looking down and seeing a stomach and no toes like I used to see, I see a trim and toned body, there's no beating that!

Heck, guys in lycra are the *best* eye candy. Rear view is very nice. Best legs, better than athletes from other sports, in my opinion. (Is it the shaving?)

And the nice friendly ones smile and wave too, which makes my day.
