Riding for the love of it
Posted on 13 June 2010
With fewer races this year and no real anchor of an event, I have been able to spend more time just riding for the love of it. Not riding to train for something in particular, just riding to ride. Sometimes that leads to a lack of concentration. Today I was cruising along thinking about anything but my wheels to the pavement relationship. My rear tire blew out and launched me off my bike. How quickly life changes. I wasn’t really hurt, but have a healthy amount of road rash. It is kind of funny in retrospect. The last thing on my mind was the prospect of crashing. It wasn’t even on the radar as a possibility. I guess humility is dealt out whenever we get complacent with our version of reality. The truth is, I loved the whole event. Weird I know, but I did. Why? Well, because it is all part of the whole experience of riding a bike. Part of the journey. Sometimes you don’t need a goal to enjoy a journey.
