I guess it's a different definition of "fun". I get my kicks by challenging myself and in some cases, that means intentionally putting myself at a disadvantage. I don't understand how anybody can really enjoy tooling around pavement on a road bike, but there are people who claim it's "fun". Different strokes for different folks. It's a bike, I ride it in the woods, it puts a smile on my face to do that. That's all that matters to me.
