Today I skipped out of work early and drove 90 mins to a new trail. It was not the prettiest day, the greatest trail or the best ground conditions (it is also a horse trail so pretty cut up and swampy in places) BUT I was so happy just to be out there.
I hit some lines wrong but also nailed a few which made me smile. I tried to brake less and pedal more and succeeded until my fitness failed me. BUT I was still so happy to be out there.
Missed a turn and added 5 miles to my ride. Happy to go the extra distance. My dog wasn't...
The whole thing was enhanced by riding my rigid SS. The happiest, funnest bike I know.
While some want the lightest, squishiest, 30speediest bike on the most perfect trails while eating energy bars and drinking protein shakes others make the most of what we have around us (and still hit the trails for 15+ hours a week!)
PASSION!
