Default Feeling after a day of riding...

Just wondering, after a good day of hard riding, how you guys feel afterward? As for myself, I like to park my bike away, wipe is down, take off gears, take a deep breathe & take few minute just looking at my bike, say to myself, that's amazing.....then good cold shower! Then cold beer afterward....spend time with the family....few days later...the urge to ride comes back again..

go inside, throw gear on kitchen table, and grab a cold beer - - for sure! that is a must.


then maybe put her on a rear stand and lube the chain while she's still warm

I usually park it in the garage in it's spot, take all my stuff off and throw it in my room. Stretch and then relax for a few hours. I always feel drained after a good 150-200 mile ride.

Tired, uncomfortable, drained.... but then at the same time, my adrenaline is still going and I stare at my bike and admire it and listen to my heart beat. Then I go inside and throw all my gear off on the floor and get a tall glass of water.

For me not the feeling of when it's over is the calm stretch of road right after a great curve or a fast strait way I always say out loud that's why I bought this bike! My fave
