In the interest of focusing on positive things in life, here’s a topic looking at the good stuff
Helping a TR forum member find an answer or fix a problem they have struggled to resolve.
Ripping a technical line on the MTB with speed and grace that makes me feel like I’m “one with the bike”.
Giggling at the silly stuff my cats do while roaming around the back yard in “their jungle”.
Getting my wife to snort while laughing at one of my jokes or silly observations.
The smile I get when rowing gears in my Miata rolling up the on-ramp to and from work with the top down.
That long weekend ride with a close friend, where you’ve both spent all the topics of discussion and now roll in unmentioned silence, while enjoying the brilliant solitude and sharing road right next to them.
Weekend evenings at my dad’s after one of his amazing BBQ meals, sitting back and just listening to all the old stories (and a few new ones) with my family.
There are more that I will probably add later, but these hit me upon reflection this morning.
Riding in the rain when it’s not too cold. Not enough to be really miserable, just enough to make you feel tough. To wash away all the rest of your cares and bring your mind to just this moment.
on a windy stretch thats quiet and freshly paved…
