Just curious what other's experience (if any) is with a post-riding endorphin high.
I've been experiencing this pretty regularly after the completion of riding and it's a bit of a surprise because it's different from what I experience with say running or swimming. With these latter two I can get that "in the zone/I can go one forever" feeling but only while in the middle of the respective exercise and it never last beyond that peak moment.
Cycling appears to be unique for me in that whether or not I had any kind of peak experience while riding I almost always get that post-riding sense of just feeling really damn good and very happy. Sort of like my body is smiling, Now I ain't complaining about this but I'm curious how common this is and if it's one of the strong appeals of riding.
