WOW What a Weekend, Lucia and I were entered into a mountain bike competition on saturday. Lucia's mum hired us mountain bikes at at 10:30am I found myself on the start line of a mountain biking + orienteering competition.. We had to look at our route and plan which points we wanted to get to... It was great fun and a lot of hard effort to cycle along the paths through the forests, some of the riding was incredibly difficult, but great fun too.. Today I am so sore, but it is in a great way, I am hurting in a way that I didnt realise I miss, I miss cycling so much and this day of biking made me realise that.. I miss the sheer enjoyment of cycling up a hill and conquring it, and then the adrenaline of trying to go down as fast as you can, picking a route betweent the obsticals and going through it, letting the bike flow, letting it ride bumps and slide slightly on loose gravel... ahhh sheer beauty.. I LOVE IT!!!....
All these means, I HAVE to get back on bikes properly and ride competitively again. And the best thing is, now I have found a way to race, and also have goals to train for... Motivation..
