Good

What makes for a good ride?

Is it the group? Is it the route? Is is winning the county line sprint? Is it making it up the climb with the lead group? Is it the weather? Is it a hard ride? Is it an easy ride? Is it that perfect rotating paceline? Is it having a tailwind both ways?

A good ride is indefinable, it has no parameters. You cannot check off a list to quantify if a ride is good. It is many things to many people. It's like art, you just know when it is good. Unlike art, everyone agrees when you have a good ride.

  1. Beuty is in the eye of the beholder... or is it Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty... or is it a microscopic version of the string theory... Ah it's a bike ride... truly indefinable, and always sought...
