17th October 2014
Statistics have shown that the cycling scene has exploded in the Uk! Fortunately for me though, only 20% of those venture onto the singletrack.
It's clearer to me after today that there isn't anything the road can give me. Exercise never came into the equation. It was all about having one thing in life to get excited about, one thing to think about when you have free time, not a million interests that require your attention otherwise they start to gather dust.
Mountain biking gets you out there, in the centre of the beauty with a little bit of effort. Even now the scenery is changing rapidly from the luscious green trees that surrounded me only a couple of months ago. But even then, it's only the wind and the rain that really makes you feel alive. Getting in the thick of it when most of the 20% would rather be watching Waterloo Road.
It feels a bit like watching a movie at the cinema. You could either get the best view of it whilst in the comfort of a designated seat (the road) or you could actually be in the film yourself getting a firm grasp of what's in front of you.
Even 3D glasses couldn't make it look this good.
