Riding outside

It is not just riding outside but it is riding in a group outside. Man that was fun. Probably about 50 miles and a whole lot of smiles. I rode my 3 speeder and I felt great for 2.5 of the ride, great. Then it started to sink in but only in the best way! I love riding bike... I believe in it. I wish everyone rode, the world would be a better place.

I am going to look at different aspects of cycling that all add up to make cycling the powerful activity that it is. I will start by examining the sport itself and why it is unique to other games, then I am going to look at the physical nature of cycling, then taking a look at the social aspect of cycling, and finally the spiritual aspect of cycling.

The Sport- This is the only game that I know of where you have to team up with your competition to win. Lance Armstrong can not win the tour alone. Cycling is a sport where you have to team up with your adversaries to make time and to pull away. In a breakaway you find your self teamed up with someone you have never talked to, you have no idea who they are and suddenly you are depending on their strength and fitness. You work hard together to stay away and if do stay away you shake hands and sprint for the finish. That is beautiful and there is no other game like it.
