The best way to see the world!
I raced in a mountain biking event last Saturday. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m not that into the competitive side of the racing, but just go out as I feel some sort of obligation to do so.
About half way through the second lap I was really in the zone. While riding at “race pace”, I was still able to take in my surroundings and enjoy what I was doing. Every part of the track was beautiful. Some areas quite wet with beautiful scrub-land around it, other areas almost like forest, and other areas more open and rocky.
As I raced, I thought to myself “there really is no better way to see the world than on a bike”. It doesn’t matter if it’s a road bike, mountain bike, touring bike, geared, single-speed, whatever. If it has two wheels and somehow resembles the original bicycle, I can appreciate it.
Live to ride, ride to live!
