I once read or heard (wish I could recall) where the runner's high was
judged the only true endorphin high. I got into a discussion with this
person who said cycling couldn't produce the same result as running. I
still stand by my thought that intense biking does produce a high.
That's at least part of the reason it keeps me coming back as well.
JD: good guess, only it wasn't just a bit of dough. :-(. I hope he is
rotting in his own real estate in Florida, you know, the swamps he
sells. hmmm, maybe he'll learn his lesson soon, if not for me to
recover the $$ but just so he doesn't do it to some other unsuspecting
female. Trolls are good manipulators; each profile learned is filed
away and used against them at a later point. But, lies still have a
way of catching up with him. Slow & steady steers the course...I'll
never be schizo, I'm too calm and happy right now just being myself
a major victory in and of itself.
the endorphins from riding are icing on the cake
and I know my
local bike shop guys will take care of me. I never had a brother,
that's prob. half the problem there.
Example 1) I pick up the trainer the other day, I leave the keys locked
in the car, they jimmy open the door for me to retrieve them, only to
find I had the lights on the battery's died. So one of the guys goes
and gets his new Dodge Ram and puts it up to the hood and hooks
everything up (no grease on my new nail tips!) and gets it started for
me. Then carries the trainer to the car and puts it into the trunk for
me. No broken nail tips for MTB girl!
Example 2) I look down the other day to see my whole front brake system
has been removed (sabotage!) and go over to the shop again, don't they
fix me up with a newer better one even though I'm broke and can't pay
them yet?
Chivalry at its best in downtown Toronto! I have always been able to
say my faith in people, esp. men, will always be restored and I will
give credit to where credit is due without tarrying & feathering all
for the actions/deeds of some pond scum.
