Cycling is suffering. It’s ingrained into the activity. There is a minimum fitness requirement before it’s even slightly enjoyable. you don’t have to be neuroticly fit, but you have to be comfortable with discomfort. I think that’s why weirdo endurance events and “epics” are so prevalent in the culture of cycling. it’s baked into the DNA of the activity.
