I’ve talked about
our social ride before. I
normally look forward to Tuesdays, since a lot of the time it’s the only day
during the week that I get to ride. Good
people, good pace, and good food afterwards will make you forget about whatever
you had going on during the day.
Yesterday though, I just didn’t feel like riding. I had my bike with me at work, but when it
came time to hit the road I briefly thought about skipping the ride and heading
straight home. Something told me to go
anyway.
I’m glad I
did. Once I got out on the trail with
the group, I felt pretty awesome. We had
a big bunch of folks, and riding a trail that I hadn’t been to in a while made me feel
like I was there for the very first time. It
was sorta like being a kid again.

I guess the lesson
of the day is: When you get a chance to
ride, go ride. Work has been extra sucky
lately, and being out in the woods on my bike is one of the few things that
helps me forget. Sure, I have my guitar,
but I have to work so hard at it that it’s hard to relax and it enjoy
sometimes. On the bike I can mentally
check out, and just focus on the little strip of trail in front of my wheel.
That helps make
things right. Well, that and beer.
Only one day left for me this week. I'm going on a much needed vacation. More on that tomorrow...
