    In the Zone

    I was suprised hardly anyone was out today???
    I worked this morning and the weather has been so shitty I haven't had a chance for a ride in five weeks. But today the weather broke this afternoon and it was time to take Black Beauty for a run.

    Lots of slips along the Kaiuau coast and lots of riverlets across the road especially on the corners which made for some fun riding. Madness informs he saw me twice. He would have been one of the very few bikes I spotted but didn't realise it was him.

    I managed 300kms and had a ball and though I thought I would be out of practice I actually found myself well in "the zone" for much of the ride. Man it was cool and I loved every minute of it.

    Whoops.... now I've said it, let the fun begin
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Was watching my sons soccer game at Rosmini College, Takapuna and the weather was crap but saw about 15 or 20 bikes, big tourers, in a group heading towards the motorway.. hardy soles I thought.

    If you class loose rutted / potholed seal, tar blead, cowshit, squashed animals, mud & i'll say it again.... rivers of cowshiiiiit + sheep droppings as part of the 'zone' then i was well & truly in it yesterday. Only saw one bike.

    Felt great to get out with the bike for the day, really looking forward to summer tho.

    I was in the zone too, unfortunately that consisted of mowing the lawn, not quite the zone I really wanted to be in... would prefer beyond's one.
