I’m keepin’ it clean, you know, fer da kidz. But I just came back from a mt. bike ride wherein I conquered a section of the trail, a short, but VERY steep and rocky/root laden section that I had previously considered not possible. It took me four tries and I drew blood on my knee (from my bike TIRE of all things) but man, it was satisfying. Then, I linked it up with another section that I didn’t make it up for several years before I finally figured it out about a year ago. Back to back. I may have yelled, by myself in the woods, a few words that would have quite confounded my kids.
Of course, I was by myself in the woods, in near darkness so I have no evidence and I don’t even have a picture of the section in question. So instead, have a video of a man who would laugh at my trials and tribulations and go ride down the top of a chain link fence or something:

There is no high like the high of conquering some piece of ground. You feel like an b ona-fide superhero.

It’s a great feeling when you conquer your nemesis. Then you get to go back there again and see if it gets any easier. It doesn’t.
