A little whisper in the dark

Seeking escape?

I covered around 120km on my bike last week. I seldom ride that much in a month, let alone a week. And this is despite the fact I was down with a rather bad flu, plus my doctor didn't give me antibiotics. It came and went.

I didn't really think about why I went out riding. Not at that point of time. I did know I didn't want to go out with my friends to celebrate Christmas, or New Year's eve or anything like that. Right now, nothing really troubles me, but several issues are looming on the horizon. I don't lose sleep over it, but the point where I must decide still grinds closer. Matters of the heart though not urgent will still have to be resolved in the end.

I don't think much when I ride. Not onroad, not offroad. Have to deal with traffic onroad, and trail conditions when offroad. The proverbial two slabs of meat attached to the lower half of my torso that mindlessly pumps up and down to drive the bike. I control the bike. I am the bike's engine. But the bike encompasses my thoughts and emotion. Its probably a weird reason to be riding.

The issues remain, and I shall still be riding this weekend.
