When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. ~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I think this sums up a lot of peoples mindset when riding their bikes. Even if the bike is just a tool to get you from A to B, you have that time of calm while on the saddle to delve into your thoughts and forget.
On our regular 'Wednesday Night Warriors' ride last night I had Strava going and I achieved a personal record to the top of Stromlo - 25 and a half minutes. For the entire ride I had little thoughts running through my head apart from that next push, breathing and who is gaining on me from behind. Lights on, world class trail, about an hour and a half of simplicity.
I love Wednesday nights!
