Insanity!?
If my bike could talk, it would screaming that it has ended up with a jerk!!
It was a colleagues marriage some 500 odd KMs. The plan was pretty simple, start Saturday night in train, reach morning, attend wedding and reception and return by bus.
And then insanity strikes!!
Two guys, two bikes, 34 hours of trip out of which 22 hours were spend riding the bike. 940 KMs that was to and fro, surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep. It doesn’t get wackier than this!! Oh, wait!! I forgot the occassional rain. A perfectly sane plan, consumed by insanity!! Insane more for each of those 22 hours was ridden in night.
But I tell you, nothing beats the stillness of night, the open ground, with the moon smiling in between the clouds and the wind blowing across your face. The sense of being nowhere, but going!!
The best part of biking is, the mind completely shuts down, it stops churning out those consuming random thoughts and it is simply the road and you!! Ofcourse, there is numbness in my rear, which sets in every now and then, but I guess, thats a price I can live with!!
Nothing to say!!
Just a sine wave of thoughts after reading clipped by thinking of your rotten rides
Sine wave is basically ups and downs….trying to understand your thoughts…but I can’t, I am drawing a blank !!
@ Kid: Is this the same bike trip you mentioned to me couple of months bk???
it’s great that you enjoy something like this. But….
@pallavi: nah….its a brand new one…of the gone by weekend !!
“Its your life, and you are suppose to be the most important person in it” but next time just remember that “There is family back at home waiting for you to return safe and healthy!”
@ Sis! Bang on- exactly what I meant when I wrote BUT….you also have friends who are care for you & are worried for you!
Be responsible towards them….!
you realise what you did was insane and still did it..
@Magic: Insanity is perspective.
At the end, the greater the risk, the greater the gain!!
