Hey Guys-
Someone posted a link to an article about a cyclist who rode very long distances and experienced mental changes during the ride. The article in general talked about how our minds may trick our bodies into slowing down.

Cannot find the link in the post--does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks!

Yep-that's it. Thanks! After reading this it has really stuck in my mind. I just wanted to take another look and pass it on to a few people.

If this sort of thing interests you look at a book from Bicycling Magazine: "Long Distance Cycling"
Great resource for those of us that feel a century or IM ride is "Too short."
