Terminated

With less than 40 hours to 2008, my thoughts gather on the past 12 months: what we have achieved and what we can improve upon – and that goes for both riding and personal development outside of riding.
In both my newbie update thread and blogg (see links below), much was written about rider development and in part personal development while riding – self discipline.
Looking back over the last four months of this year: I look back and realize I over extended myself in both the Kiwibiker community and also at the personal level where I unintentionally offended.
Whereas apologies were extended to individuals, (and whether the apologies were accepted or not) the fact remains you cannot go out and ride if you are not totally focused.
If you have offended or been offended this can directly impact upon your riding – simply put, if you allow things to have a psychological effect resulting in excessive ruminating then as they say ‘crap’ happens.
So my self discipline kicked in - I took my leave of the kiwibiker community for a while.
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.
….Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
“Relax” said the night man. “We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”.

Thank you all for your comments early last month when I ‘left the building’.
Stay safe out there one and all and I will see you in 2008.
Heads Up and Enjoy
