The Lunch Ride

Article over at Dirt Rag: The Lunch Ride  Here's a relevant paragraph from it:

Bike rides have rid me of hangovers, have loosened sore muscles, have given me windows of new creative thoughts, have opened up air passages when fighting a head cold, have taken depressing days and made them into something much better and have caused me to become a more patient human being. Sure, a bike ride can’t fix all of you problems, but when a day is smoldering into complacency and you’re feeling the need to shake it out, a bike ride is not a bad place to start.

Pretty much sums up why a lunchtime ride doubles my afternoon productivity.
