Why am I incapable of just riding my bike, just a little, for fun?
My wife convinced me to take an hour one weekend morning and start going for a ride and she'd watch the kids (normally I get up early with the kids both weekend days so she can sleep in after her long week of dealing with the kids).
I'm immediately looking at pedal based power meters, new computers, considering how to sneak in 5, 6 hours a week, start training, dreaming about getting back on the track, perhaps even a crit.
I haven't ridden in 2.5 years. I'm now riding at least some. This would seem to be an improvement. But I'm immediately in deep again (and I can tell I'm starting to make my wife regret suggesting I ride, which is definitely not what I want to do, so I'm trying to keep it low key and cheap).
