Riding my way into happiness

thoughts

Obviously I’ve been riding a lot. After a year of doing nothing but swimming and lifting, I’m finally finding the fire to get the wheels rolling under me again. It’s been very satisfying to spin the cranks, and feel my legs strong, and able.

(*disclaimer, that is NOT my bike above, I just think its stunning…)

The bicycle chains I’ve gone through in the last few years. I had planned to throw them out but I think they are due more respect than that. (Taken with Instagram)

The Himalayas,

I have been to some remote places, not Nepal, but I have been to places in Afghanistan where white men had never been seen before, there is a purity in these places, that cant be easily described.

It’s Saturday coffee time. I call this my “Navy” mug, though I got it from a guy in the Coast Guard, and I dont think it was from the ship. I was complaining about thin walled mugs not keeping things hot, and he just showed up with it one day. He said, “you have to ask a guy who stands on the bridge for nine hours with a cup.”

Thanks Mike

Pushbike stuff Embrocations, hydration etc. I seem to be on a grassroots push these days, with Mad Alchemy and Skratch labs, but there’s no way around it just working. Im a long way from being an elite cyclist nowdays so I need all the help I can get.
