and the day(s) when the outside temperature says yeah baby and you suit up ready to tame the beast. and you get 200 yards from the left hand turn out of the driveway and this thing happens. and you know it’s the wind and adjust a gear accordingly. and then the gear says no and you need a mental adjustment. the day(s) when it blows in both directions and from all sides. and you think the wind is there to teach you but you already know everything. and you think maybe nature is there to make you think but you ride to get away from thinking if only for two hours. some days are there to let you know that riding is a waste of time. and then two hours later you ride up the driveway and let it all go.
