I cannot leave it alone, I am addicted.

Only this morning I was thinking I would have a few days off my bike as I had done a lot of hard riding over the weekend and my legs were suffering , 6 hours later I have signed up for another road race and a long hilly club ride and find myself thinking how I can get home before it gets dark so I can go riding tonight. If cycling was a drug they would have banned it by now.
Still it stops me going out and mugging old ladies I suppose :?

If you think road racing is addictive try triathlon......God, I'm seeing long steel bike racks and swim caps in my sleep. Unfortunately I stink of chlorine 24/7. The wife is not happy, but at least I'm clean! (both hygienically and biologically, you understand )

You love it really, Kid. Besides, the more you do the better you get, AND, at this stage of the season, any miles are good miles.
I continuously have this nervous desire to get on the road at the end of the day but, as i work at a Uni, my ends-of-the-day are getting more and more busy, just as the light is consistently fading. This w/e was great with sunshine right up to 8pm here.
End-of-day riding means playing with W Mids traffic at going-home time which DOES NOT make for happy bike-riding, especially if I am grinding up a slope with disgrintled "bloody-bikes-slowing-me-down-on-the-way-home" types queued up behind me.
I usually end up in the garage cleaning a chain, just to be doing something with a bike...

Soon enough you'll start dreaming about cycling too.

I gave my girlfriend a good kick on the shin one time. Explaining (after she had punched me very hard in the face and woken me up) that I was about to drop Indurain, Ullrich, Hinault, Roche, Kelly and Chiapucci on Alp d'Huez, she still didn't see how wrong she was to wake me.

Apparently I nodded back off muttering "I was going to take the stage, i'd gone, i'd gone..."

I thought you were supposed to be stalking the boy, so you'd know all about it already....

Ha ha thats a pretty cool dream, the sort where you wake up wondering why your legs hurt so much.

You are disappointed? how do you think I feel telling everyone I had a stalker only for him to turn out to be the worlds worst stalker who hasn't even had the decency to peer in my window when I am getting dressed. :x
:x :x :x :x

I am going to complain to the stalker quality assurance people.

I thought you were going to tell us that since passing your test, you've become addicted to driving everywhere.

Have to agree with idaviesmoore, triathlons are more addictive.

I agree too, although the cycling is the best part of training!!
