The post-ride buzz...

[ellipsis]

its what we ride for, dont worry about trying to pin a tag on it....you can be guaranteed that cagers dont feel that way....a few hours riding with my girl and the same thing happens.....a day of racing and the feeling lasts a week, whether ya bruised ya arse and tore yer leathers or got away unscathed....

It's "being in the zone", i.e., spending a significant amount of time using the right hemisphere of your brain. It's just a nice place to be (and probably why I feel less than stellar, seeing as I haven't ventured out on two wheels since...hrmmm... June 15th.)
Blardy shoulder - heal you bastidge! Heal, dammit!
What's the good of having a New! IMPROVED!! Now with added zim and less misbehaving!! heart, if all I can test it out on is walking, and other such pedestrian activities.
"GrrrRRR!!!" and all that...
I've a good mind to ask the surgeon for a refund of the "$115 for the use of power tools", seeing physio is going to cost me around $240.


Anyway - enjoy your rides and suchlike - at least I can attempt to live vicariously, seeing the real living is some weeks off in the future....
