If I go ride of a morning, I come back feeling pretty buzzy for a couple of hours - much the same as I would get after hard exercise. And yet all I have done is sit on my arse and let the bike do all the work. So I can't pin it on endorphins generated by hard physical exercise. Which makes me wonder where it comes from...(where are the physiologists when ya need 'em?)
Anyone else get like that? Or is it just another symptom of incipient gagahood..?

Like your dancing Fox, you have been in the 'zone'
Don't forget to bring a towel
For me that thrill probably comes from multiple near death experiences which I frequently encounter on my rides.

Focus grasshopper, focus. Give your body to your mind. give your mind to your senses. Let your senses fly free.

Good comments all through...
I dunno if it is adrenalin or fear of death or multiple near-death experiences although those all happen from time to time. Focus grasshopper focus? Yeah - I think that's got quite a lot to do with it. Specially just letting the bike do the work - getting to be at one with the machine. Relaxing into the corners, hanging on with your knees instead of your hands - all the usual yadda yadda...just tuning in real close with the bike. I think that has a lot to do with it.
But it sure perks up the start of the day

I don't know if it would be a good idea to take your new girlfriend home to meet your girlfriend. One or both of them might hit you.

endorphins are stimulated by all sorts of things - hey good sex can be almost motionless!
Worried some seem to need near death to experience it - you need work guy!
