What I Think About When I Talk About Cycling
11:37 pm -- Wednesday, Feb. 03, 2010
- I normally can't remember by the time I get home to post.
- Do you think there's any goodwill left in this World? Do people still do good things just for the sake of doing it, or perhaps do something that would have no bearing whatsoever on one's self but that might have an immeasurable positive impact on another's? [0200h 05/02/10]
- Deep down inside, I am a competitor. Perhaps, probably, I will never be the type of person who is driven to attain the highest levels of achievement. Think professional athletes or even scholars. But as I cycle, nothing motivates me more than catching up with that blinking red light in front of me. Be it mountain bike, road bike, whatever. Suddenly, the pain in my thighs slips away, the thirst in my throat matters no longer. I become centered on one and only one goal - closing in on that flashing red light and eventually overhauling it. The satisfaction and euphoria of which drives me on to pedal ever more furiously down the dark road in search of the next set of blinking red lights to overcome. [2300h 03/02/10]
