You are riding up a slight incline and you get into a rythem but it seems effortless and enjoyable? Cant put my finger on it but i seem happiest when i an riding smooth tarmac up a slight hill - do you call this the sweet spot or something? does anyone know what i mean?

    Being in the "Zone", it's a bit like riding Tempo.

    It's a feeling that's usually shattered when another rider steams past at a million miles an hour.

    I'm with Furrag on this one, I generally find out later, and to my cost, that it was a tailwind that briefly turned me into Bradley Wiggins.

    Still a nice feeling though; happened a couple of times yesterday :D
