It really was today. I didn’t get to take any photo’s but the weather has definitely turned it on. No wind, a little chilly but nothing five minutes of riding didn’t sort out and blue bird skies.
It was really one of those mornings where you feel glad to be alive, healthy and lucky enough to live in a country where we can freely enjoy outdoor pursuits. Having moments like that serve as a reminder to me that there are a lot of places where people can’t go where they want without some sort of serious threat to either themselves or their family. We all like to complain about getting razed by cars and having stuff thrown at us or abuse yelled, believe me I’m not excusing that sort of behaviour, but it could be a lot worse.
It’d be really nice if we could all remind ourselves of that the next time someone yells something stupid from a car and just shrug it off instead of letting it spoil our ride. It’d be even nicer if the motorists could remind themselves of it too!
Happy trails and happy New Year everyone.
