[QUOTE="Overfly, post: 14465, member: 262"] As I am at the doorway to that club, I have noticed my mind seems to be compiling things like: my body's capabilities/abilities, risk level vs. cost of mistake, alternative reason for what I'm doing (view vs. rush), lack of need to find the "edge", as the edge is not as big a payoff as it used to be. On the other hand I find I am discovering the ride more. Looking around a little more, taking pride in doing any particular task better and basically expanding on the things I get out of a ride. Don't get me wrong, I still push myself, I still love going fast :D . I just don't go for the speed/risk alone anymore, I need more overall satisfaction and that requirement slows me down a bit to gather in the other overall ride elements. Some call it wisdom, some may even say it is maturing :blink: , I like to think it is just an expansion of what I enjoy doing. Not a bad thing, just an evolution of things. I also agree with an earlier statement about occaisionally getting into a "funk" and letting it run it's course. I consider these funks to be our minds making those little adjustments. B) [/QUOTE]
