Tonight was one of those nights

[Kinje]

So I'm sitting on the deck out front of my house drinking a coffee in the sun after work. Lots of bikes cruising by, think 'it's a lovely evening for a ride, I'm off.' 20 minutes later, all gassed up and off I go.

Nice cruisy lap down to Gladstone, Martinborough, Greytown, Home. Ride time just over an hour, distance 96km.

What a ride. Everything came together so nicely. Small subtle movement of weight to turn into a corner, smooth gear shifts up and down, smooth acceleration and deceleration.

All these things have slowly been coming together, especially over the last two or three months, but tonight everything just felt in harmony. I've had a lot of fun rides over the past two years, but tonight felt fantastic and satisfying in a very different way.

mmm I like riding

Being in the 'Zone' feels pretty good.........

Good stuff mate, sounds like a great thing!

It was certainly a nice night for it
Often find its easier to get "in the zone" when you are riding alone

Had my quickest trip ever from Pukerua Bay to SV late tonight. Magic night for it.

Awesome nothing like a smooth hassle free ride

i do my "in the zone" ritual before i go riding, it works a treat. I take about 10 long deep breaths and then imagine riding smoothly from my perspective with everything going great.

Theres nothing like the peace and quiet ( except for the purring of the engine ) when riding in the 'zone', no stress, no worries, just a road ahead and memories of the past behind you.......a good time to unwind.
