In descending order
1. Health
2. Being alone in the wild or on the trail, challenging myself.
2.5. On the trail with one or more of the chicas.
3. Climbing, challenging myself.
4. Hanging out with the chicas around a campfire.
5. The fasting feeling of a clearing out... after the first 48hrs of hunger discomfort. Starting a 96hr one tomorrow.
That’s a good one. For me a solo ride into the middle of nowhere with everything I need to filter water, eat dinner, get a good nights sleep and wake up to a cup of coffee…man that’s hard to beat. Lots of other things as well that have already been named. Fun threadI should of added a comfortable, warm and dry place to sleep on a cold night. Something in my brain tells me that is the greatest luxury on earth whenever I hit the hay on a winter night.
Really hot bath, while listening to jazz, with a big jug of iced water.
