relaxing ride...feel better

Is it me or do rides really make you feel better?
For some reason I got out of bed in a not-so-good mood this morning.

I went for a short-ish 30km ride this afternoon and now I feel loads
better. I guess it's (what they call) those endorphins that help to relax
you and lift your mood.

It's a bit hilly around here but I enjoy the uphills as much as zooming
downhill. In fact I'd go so far as to say that I probably prefer going
uphill for the challenge.

Cycled along some quiet and some heavily-trafficked roads but everyone was
very decent. One woman didn't see me though and almost swiped me off as she
opened her car door - but I feel too good right now to give it further
thought.

The weather is still brilliant. I hope it continues.

Anyone else have any good rides today?

Its not just you, that is one of the reasons I continued cycling when all
other kids stop using their bikes.

Maybe not snow -- snow & (especially) ice are not cycling friendly. But two
of the best rides I have had in the last 12 months were during heavy rain.
I have no idea why -- rain is often a complete downer on a ride -- but once
last November and again in the early spring I got caught in heavy rain which
somehow turned an 'ordinary' ride into something magical.
