We call this type 2 fun. It might not the most fun at the time but once you're off the hill and having a pint you say it was the best time ever, because you survived.
Also allows to I've climbing and skiing.
I challenge you to ride a mountain bike down a muddy hill, brakes on full lock, tyres skidding, while you barely manage to keep it upright and not have the most fun of your life! Yeah there are definitely parts that fall into that category of 'fun now that we're home' but a lot is primary fun.
I don't know where you live but the Scottish Highlands can produce some seriously "fuck this" weather. When you're still hours away from home and the sleet and winds pick up, your soaked to the bone and hands too cold to pull the brakes, you look back on it with more fondness than you felt at the time.
OK that definitely sounds not fun. I'm in Aotearoa New Zealand which doesn't get that bad. Even in the middle of winter, in the northern bike parks, it's pretty ridable without risk of hypothermia. I hope I do get the chance to ride over there one day though
