ReBoot

Bike is

blinking l.e.d. trace

while rolling

Tonight was the inauggural ipod ride, a quick spin out on the road. A shake out the cobwebs, get the body workin', watch the sunset from the saddle sort of spin. It was a bit chilly at 33 as I rolled out the door and the super clear cloudless winter sky let the sun linger forever, damn it was nice. The ride was good, the new pod is sweet for jammin' along.

Gotta say that there's something about road riding at night, it's quite addictive. For me, it's about as close as you can get to actually flying. Shut off the lights, embrace the darkness, and just pedal. Just pedal, then pedal and pedal some more. Work all over that pedal stroke, only pulling up, only scraping the bottom, then kicking over the top or flicking the ankle thru the lower half. Use it all. Then settle into that rolling symbiotic cadence, remember to breath and forget that you're attached to the earth that you can't see, thru a bike that you ignore and just pedal and pedal and pedal and pedal and poof.

poof.

The bike is gone, and you are flying.
