Riding should be fun and give you that magic buzz from that adrenalin rush as you ride fast along traffic-free roads with the wind blowing away the stresses of the week.
Sure,I am strong but the fun is letting friends draft behind me at 30-35 kph,
And then letting them sprint past their friends shrieking with laughter.
One of the funniest moments on the bike in a long time was Ching drafting behind me uring me to go faster and faster,then asking me to show before she sprinted past me to ride away into the distance leaving me toasted behind.
The group reminded me of the camaraderie that is built through cycling together ; two cases of cramp with the small crash saw the entire group stop,help and reassure each other, sharing water and motivating each other when the ridding got tough.
