"I find a perverse joy in this kind of anti-fun. This is not why I ride, but then again, this is exactly why I ride. There is no goal, no destination, no dangling carrot of reward. The ride just is."
This describes why I do ultra-endurance races. I am never going to win; I'm there because I get to ride all day and see what it does to me. When it's 3am and you've been riding your bike for 20 hours and you suddenly see the moon hanging over a glass-still lake, it just is.
