Sunday 2 May 2010

Simply enough.

It's a lovely Sunday morning in Auld Reekie (Edinburgh) and due to my rather unsuccessful attempts to write applications I much more feel like writing something about biking instead, which suits the weekend more than thinking about future work engagements. I just managed to import my road bike into Scotland, after a very long winter break, my first long time off the bike in 4 years. And let me tell you that once I am back on two wheels, I am feeling much better and confident again. It only took 5 minutes till the magic got back to me, being out there, facing the elements (there are quite a few things to face in Scotland) and just have sheer fun. And get the odd look from confused car drivers that can't believe a simple human can accelerate that quickly, a cheer from the odd person in the bus stop and whatever comes with it. Combined with the fact that I will eat much more healthy again and have the chance to socialise with people who share the same passion, I wonder if there ever will be something better than biking to make me happy apart from the obvious things? Possibly not.
