I'll echo everything Mike has written here. I'll add something simple: ADVENTURE.
Brevets are always an adventure. There's always a tad of doubt and suffering. Exploring is poking around the hills and stopping to make tea. Adventure holds some risk, and its rewards are deeply internal - along with the fellowship of those who share the adventure. Even touring can be an adventure.
