We all have those moments where this sport just does "it" for us. Maybe for you it's finishing a long ride, when you feel a little giddy 'cause you are soooo tired. Or finally making that one jump that's been haunting you. For me, I love seeing the sun set at the top of a local tough three-mile climb; the view goes out to the ocean. The whole place changes in the 15 minutes from then, all the smells and the feel. You snap on your lights and get a great coast back to the road. Good stuff.
What ever does "it" for you, that's a really good thing to have. Dealing with customers can be challenging, but you have that personal "thing" to balance those times. This is an odd concept, but one of the ways to make that moment better is to share it. How many of our customers have experienced the best of cycling, like you have? Talking about it will reinforce the good parts for you, and make it more intense. Have you shared this motivation/energy/love of the sport with any one lately? Tell 'em or take 'em; let's get others as addicted as we are!

This ancient picture shows me climbing the start of the Poison Spider Mesa trail in Moab, 22 Oct 1993 at 38 degrees. It did warm to 65 degrees later that day; good times!
Man, I gotta go climb that trail again...
