So cool to hear the input from all of you. I agree you have to push to gain the fitness you want or need to increase the fun. No doubt the better the fitness the easier it is to have fun and not suffer as much. I have always have had that competitive mind set through life so it drives me to just be  better. A younger guy I ride with occasionally  kind of keeps me in check with my fitness and sometimes I let my chasing him take some of the fun out of riding only of my own doing. On the other hand when I’m boosting small gaps, riding wheelies, pulling manuals ( I so badly want to master) I hope he sees the fun side of riding he might have lost some touch with. Guess there has to be enjoyable balance between the push and the fun. All of your comments certainly have helped me understand better the time and effort I put into riding.
