I have been stuck behind a computer for many days now. Looking out the window with a kind of longing… Not really to get riding, but to see how I would go in this weather.

See, I started riding when the weather was starting to look up, nice skies and such. It was just changing into the soft summer we had – all except the last month of wierd weather (by wierd I mean hot, in late March).

In one week we have gone from high 30 degree days to sixteen and cloudy overcast weather. It has not been good for much – except that we got some rain.

Though the weather has been like this, it has still been calling my name. The road has been calling my name, like a broken record, like a chipped tooth with a dull ache. Everyday I wake up early, and already I am thinking about riding – just time management gets the better of me.

I don’t think it is an illness… Others are starting to suspect something is up. I’ll let you know how I go when I get out there, tomorrow is starting to look like a good oppertunity.

I just realised that I can post stuff like this – youknow, good intentions and such – because I have a blog. Thanks be to the internet for providing oppertunities like this, to just ramble…

It was only 30kms into the ride, and I could already feel my legs fading. I thought on leaving this morning that I would just give it a shot – a short ride to make me feel a little better – but my body has a way of fooling me into think I was doing well. I was kicked while I was down.

So it has been long. Too long since I have posted on my own site.

I am sitting here, late at night, waiting for my computer to defragment so that I can continue flatting.

It is 10 minutes to midnight. And I am waiting.

I am waiting and I am thinking, of all things, riding a bike. I think something got hold of me when I started cycling late last year. It is unexplainable, and difficult for me to even think about – but I want to get back out and ride.

I wagged work on Friday, during a tough deadline, to get in a ride. I can back sore and spent, and it was worth it all.

I have been surfing websites, and investigate prices of bikes that I wouldn’t be able to afford. I check out cycle wear and think about different ways to make work disappear so that I can ride.

I don’t think this is crazy. In fact I know that there are many people who think this way. I would just like to be able to put my thoughts into action…

Okay. I’ll let you be…
