    Re: [RC] A Very Different Ride Story - FASTGraphic


    That is a great story....and one I understand completely!  :o)  About 40 
    miles into just about every ride I've done, I start to think "What the hell 
    am I doing this for?  I love trail riding....I'll just go back to doing that. 
     Nice.  Easy.  Relaxing.  Fun."  Then, about 10 miles and 100 hours later, I 
    cross the finish line feeling like Solitaire and I have just won the Kentucky 
    Derby!  All the negativity vanishes and I am on top of the world - so proud 
    of my Solitaire and all the hard work, conditioning and ride prep we have 
    done together.  I get home and start planning the next one.  LOL  This sport 
    is truly insane.  I love it.  I've just gotta get over that 40 mile 
    slump....any suggestions?  I know the "Do a 100" suggestion, and that'll 
    happen as soon as my "girlfriend" and I have over 250 miles in 50's.  Just 
    think I'll experience an 80 mile slump then!  Help?  :o)
    Scott
