There are three reasons I like cycling. I was talking with Melissa tonight and this was one of the many things we talked about. Of course, this is one of the less important things – it was a really good talk. The three reasons are in order of importance and relevance:

• Because I enjoy riding
• To keep physically fit
• To think

I really enjoy riding. Plain and simple. I feel better when I ride and staying physically fit makes me feel better. Thinking. There’s nothing like working on a problem for an hour or more passing beautiful scenery and having the wind pass by.

Those are the reasons I ride. Now, the things I have to think on are way too varied and overly deep sometimes. But those will get their own entries if they warrant them.
