Sometimes we do things that are hard, and we even pay for that privilege. I’m about to bike 62 miles in Hastings, MI for the Barry Roubaix. It’s gravel, it’s hilly, and there’s a pretty good wind out of the west making it feel like it’s in the low 30’s.
Best I can tell I’m paying to do this because it’s satisfying to prove that I can do hard things. I also really like riding my bike, so that makes it pretty awesome in that aspect. I think sometimes it’s worth having a challenging goal to achieve. Bonus points for also getting to play outside.
