1) Andy, the roadie pro we met in Moab is right. Doing hours of biking per day is tough work. Yep, the legs burn. But even tougher to bear is the sheer boredom. If you have to do time rather than reaching a destination, you get home trainer sickness on the road.
2) Road pros either have developed some awesome mental games - or intelligence is not a key requirement, maybe even a problem for road pros. After one week of mile/time scrubbing my brain goes numb as soon as I am on the bike. Must be a self defense mechanism.
3) Endorphins are awesome. I got a remark today that I am looking very happy. And yes, I was. Just walked away from 10min of Ping-Pong a d that was all it took to get my body produce an E-rush...
