Addictive!

I reckon cycling is addicting! If you haven't really given it a go, you won't know what it feels like. But, cruising down hills at 70+km/p/hr on a bike, wind screaming at your face, with a bunch of other riders is one of the most adrenaline rushing feelings you'll ever have.

I had, arguably, one of my greatest individual experiences yesterday down at Lake Taupo doing the Cycle Challenge. There were 9,500 riders participating at all different levels.

My 80km ride didn't seem as far as I thought, all though it's still a long way, especially on undulating terrain. My goal was to finish in 3hr 30mins, and I finish bang on 3hrs! I was stoked.
