Why suffer?
I don’t mean the suffering that we eulogise - the feeling of
muscles straining, lungs heaving and heart pounding. That type
of suffering comes with the payback of going fast or reaching
the finish, and the pain stops when you do.
I mean the soreness in your palms that makes it impossible to
rest on the bars, the aching in your neck that means you can’t
hold your head up to see where you’re going, the spasm in your
back that you just cannot ease or the rawness in your crotch that
means you have to stand up on the pedals. Why suffer the pain
that means you’re no longer enjoying your ride? The pain that
comes with going slower.

There’s another type of unwelcome suffering too: that of getting
left behind when the road goes uphill or downhill, or even round

who do twice as much riding as you - I mean being left behind
by guys and girls who do less!
