Compete

I would recommend riding a bike on a nice trail to anyone. It clears the mind, increases fitness and is bloody fun! 

I blitzed my time up Stromlo today on the 'Red loop' from the Scott 24. From carpark back to carpark, it took me 34 minutes. Reaching the top almost a minute faster than my previous best. I was in the groove, picking all the right lines, breathing, focused, controlled. Days like that are awesome. I smile after any ride, but after one like that where everything clicks, your left totally satisfied. 

Competing against myself is something I've learned to enjoy more and more. Pushing myself when no one else is watching.
