Ride more, bitch less.

^^ Si, correcto, southwest Delhi. Very well stated.  Without a doubt you have done it too.

Rode my bike to work and back in the Seatown car wash yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks. Oh man... long overdue.

That's an outstanding slice of humanity you saw, let alone the countryside. I really like the southern ghats, been a couple+ decades since I've been through them.

If anything, once you have been exposed to life and its accompanying friction there, it really amplifies the notion of ride more and bitch less.

I like the way you think. Though I haven't taken my boys to India yet, they've received a similar 'education' from me all along. 

Keep on riding, we both know there's truly very little to bitch about in the grand scheme of things.

Happy holidays riding cohorts.

Had my first MTB ride in 2018 yesterday. Lots of singletrack at a friend's place. Smooth and twisty trails. Some rockface roll-downs. 

I am slowly getting back on track, still take it easy though. 

Right now I have no reason to bitch. Life is good. I need a new car but am taking it one step at a time. No reason to worry, freak out or get hectic.

I agree. Life is good. Third ride on the new bike Saturday. Got some fresh tracks in the snow near the top. Beautiful weather, crisp & cool. We are so lucky to live in the best part of the world known for the best mountain biking.

Well, to be honest I could punch you for that 'best part' thing.

I always wanted to live in BC but decided to marry and have a kid along with a nice house on some sweet property with a woman I thought I grow old with. Too bad she did not see it the same way.

Oh well....my son is great and loves riding as much as I do. I am healthy and have a rather well-paid job. I got three bikes and good and trusty friends. Who knows if I have the chance to spend a few weeks in BC every year one day? Or even move there as part of my personal retirement plan.

Yesterday I showed my kid a few of Digger's movies and nearly cried. He was happy and asked me when he'd be old and skilled enough to ride the easy trails on the Shore, in Whistler and Kamloops. Awesome.

So, yeah...life is still good.

^^ nothing to bitch about, nope, no way.

I need 6 more hours a day on the clock so I can fit everything in and keep the machine fed so to speak. Not bitching, just want more time to ride....

True. Nothing to bitch about. 

Over here in Tchermany I am really waiting for the weather to turn just a wee bit so I can at least do a few easy road rides.

Riding a new bike really is what's best in life isn't it? Just pure childish joy.

Bumped into Wade Simmons hiking, and he randomly stopped and gave my kids and I his full attention for like 5 minutes. I'm putting that guy on the in best in life list too. It's like he opens his mouth and sunshine pours out. Think I saw him fart a rainbow.

I know you all see him so often you avoid him in the grocery store, but for someone who now lives 3000 miles away it's a hyperventilating celebrity moment.

Don't hold your breath..... https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/02/28/germany-holds-its-breath/

^^ this ain't NBR, do your thing there, this is about riding

The new bike lane on the 520 bridge over Lake Washington is the crown jewel that opens up a LOT of options to get into the core of the city or peel off a lap of the north or south end of the lake. Imagine just having one of either 1st or 2nd Narrows bridges to get the Shore to Van city ride business done.... and then the other was added after too many years of waiting.

Just had our first day of temps above 6 deg celsius. Efging sweet. Went for a road ride, crushed an old personal record and felt like a rocket on my trusty commuter. A bit tense in the lower back but some rehab movements smooth that out. 

A cold one and a sip of Woodford Reserve later. 

Tomorrow to the gym after work. Yeah!

Been riding pretty much every weekend lately, even thru the crappy weather. Have also been able to get in a few rounds of golf. (Taylor-Made drivers FTW!). Is this gonna be a mild winter, or are we due for a cold snap?

nice Stu.

I've been riding a ton the past month, especially the past couple of weeks, and am starting to make up for the past two years of barely any riding at all. I've been doing late night loops too out to SFU from home which has led to some numb toes on some of the colder nights. I'd forgotten how fun night rides can be.
