Like most people I have lots of little stressors, things to think about and do, tasks and responsibilities. Nothing exciting there.
So its really nice when i can escape the morass of dealing with life and go and experience moments of full immersion in the outdoors. Today was one of those days. I was conscious of completely ignoring email, phone calls, clients, finances, staff and other things. I was completely in the moment, struggling with the pain in my legs, exulting in the adrenalin, revelling in the speed, the control and the fun of pelting downhill flat out, the detail of the tyre tracks on the ground in front of me, even the bluish green shine to large pieces of animal dung.
Today I joined a ride that was supposed to be a 68km round trio from Beerburrum to Woodford and back through the Glasshouse mountains. I didn’t make it back because i suffered some mild heat issues, and some major cramping. Didn’t stop me riding the first half though. and I loved every minute of not being in my home office.
Right now I’m loving being in the office with the aircon running and a cold drink at hand!
Here are some pics i got with the mobile while on the ride.
And a little video of the steepest uphill climb.
And finally here is the map and data from Strava.
