I was off the bike traveling for about 10 days. `Me' without the bike for ten days ... is not a pretty site. I was tense, withdrawn, quiet and very, very controlled.
To ease back into cycling I took the bike out for a 15 miler (1890 feet of climbing). Out and back.
On the way back I found myself so much more calm; breathing much more deeply. So much less tense.
Wondering (almost) aloud I concluded that I have an addiction to the expression and release that cycling gives me. I'm a `junkie.'
