Ok, here's the comment which one...
"I love the challenge. I love finding my limits then finding ways to extend them. I love the camaraderie of riding with friends. I love the solitude riding alone brings. I love the views after reaching an alpine summit, especially when the previous hour all you saw was your top tube and front wheel. I love the whoosh whoosh whoosh sound of your tires against blacktop as you rise from your saddle on a particularly steep grade. I love the sibilance of wind across my ears as I push a downhill descent to see just how fast I can go. I love the calm of a paceline: calm of the riders, calm of the air, calm of my legs just before it's my turn at the front. I love the smell of lycra. I love sitting at work, anticipating the coming lunchtime ride. I love sitting at work after a lunchtime ride with the endorphin high, happy to have gotten out. I love it all. Every single bloody thing."
