Definately a happy by product of riding, and it depends fully on how much riding im able to get in. although I reckon that since turning 30 if I wasn’t fit by accident I’d be an unhappy gym bunny.
Fit is a funny word, I reckon I’m fitter then the vast majority of the people I meet day to day and I’m happy with my level of fitness as it compares to the people I ride with. The thing is though when I do a race or enduro I’m reminded that fit I us a relative term by all the Lycra boys.
Question is where are all the Lycra boys the rest of the time, do they only emerge from their turbo trainers and road bikes to smash me at races?
