Weightless!
 
This morning I was sailing downhill on a curve, enjoying the ride. When I noticed, thinking to myself (why not? I'm the only one there!) It is as though I am weightless, being slung by gravity into a wonderful self-guided track. It was a really cool feeling, totally different than pumping / grinding / gasping for air, up a steep hill. Maybe you had to be there?

Yes! And not to break with your thought, but sometimes I get a burst of energy or "something" and my legs just start going like a motor. Uphill, downhill, on the flat--I just feel like an airplane!

:thumbup:

Thanks for the post!

That's cool! The curve I mentioned earlier leads to a steep hill, and carries me 2/3 up it! Then I pour it on and zoom over for another downhill clip.... of course there's the reverse on the return trip. :(

The other day I watched a 10 year old neighbor ride his bicycle down the street. He was riding "no hands" and exclaiming, "I can fly, I can fly!"

Gravity only sucks when you're going up!

Coming down it's great!
