^ This ^ for me this is largely what I couldn't put into words earlier. I have been one of those 'ride as fast as you can' and 'impress buddies with fancy gear' types in the past. I took several years off of serious riding, then picked up my Bombadil. I have been converted. im no longer in a big hurry and am now focused on looking around, smelling the roses, enjoying the ride and trying my best not be a nuisance to those around me. I guess I really drank the Rivendell koolaid, and am happier and having more fun than I have ever had that I can remember since being a kid. Slowing down and accepting that im not a racer dude was key. Thanks GP. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
