A perfect match of ability and task difficulty wherein one loses sense of time and just experiences the moment. For me, it happens during data analysis - and you thought you were nerdy...

My dog dropped me on a recent ride shortly after an observation concerning a lame ass. I never even noticed the poor creature. I've spent the past two weeks riding roads that are flat as pancakes and hot as skillets. Oddly relaxing in the way that a sauna leaves you feeling cleansed and calm. Well this is a coincidence.

I crave those Colorado mountain passes! The zen of it is definitely there, although there is more pain associated with it on the bike. Climb on!

Repetitive motion where the mind is disengaged and allowed to roam is a great example! Climbing for me, however, is a dispiritual practice in that I'm cursing it the whole time. Perhaps it's time to change my attitude..... Fatty, you’re describing a spiritual practice when it comes to climbing!

They put the awesome in awesomesauce. Also, The Hammer does have a mighty fine ass. :) Also, I think you've rubbed off on e when it comes to climbs. I'm not particularly good at them, but I look forward to them. Are you planning on posting the Fatty-Queen of Pain podcasts if we can't make them live? Please oh please oh please? <blockquote>Yes, we'll be posting a recording of these soon after the air live. - FC</blockquote> I really love your race reports. They put the awesome in awesomesauce.
