The Lone Dog is it me?

I have probably posted this type of thing before but a few of my friends today went up to do the Berry Roubaix. This would have been a good 5-6 hour ride to get to and it is only about 36 miles of ride. I could see a special 100 might be worth the drive but then again here is the truth.
I am lazy and to me just getting on my bike and taking off from my house seems to be the most productive for what I want to do I want. To get some work and exercise and be outside seeing things. Anything else really takes 2nd place. At my age speed and pushing for faster times is gone. Due to past crashes I am careful and don't like to get near loose gravel and when turning on anything but  great pavement I don't power through the turn. Finally I am not a great climber so I have slow.
My one strength is probably I can go a long time without stopping or need food and even water. I have been riding and in the cold weather need no water at all for 50 miles. Does not mean I could not use it just that I don't really need to carry and can easily handle 50 mile rides with nothing.
So I am a real lone ranger and wonder if I am not very typical as a cyclist. My guess is for veteran rides I might be more normal.
Finally on another topic. Years of running I would get what I call the "runner's trots need to find a porta-poddy. With cycling it is way less frequent but it does seem that maybe every few weeks I go out and ride come in a eat something theng bang..........get me to the crapper.
More than you wanted to know but anyone else have this occasionally.
