Ride a bike, share your experience and love. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman

Mid-Week, GMR FIXED

Yesterday night I rode up GMR via my fixed gear bike.  It was hot and I was hurting the whole way up.  I typically can ride from Pomona to GMR to Baldy with one water bottle.  Yesterday night was hot with a brutal headwind.  By the time I reached the maintenance shed, I had less then 1/4 water left.

It was brutal.

On another note, on the way down I saw Matt and Wayne.  If I had more time, I would have turned around to talk.  Next time!
