In a practical sense, I ride because it allows me to go places and experience things I would not be able to if I could not transport myself. That may be why I ride, but I love it because of the joy It inspires within, The strain of tired muscles, the fluttering of an exhausted heart, the wind in my face, the ground rushing past. I ride to travel to see beautiful things; I ride for speed to feel the adrenaline, and I ride for the exercise, self-improvement, and physical effort; the accumulative result is I ride because one day I want to win.
