today i went riding my downhill bike, and i was reminded why i love riding so much.

my friend and i went to hamsterley forest (near darlington if anyone is really that fussed to know) and rode their DH course. it is a course i have ridden a few times and know fairly well... today however felt a LOT better than when i have ridden it before. i haven't been there for a while so it took a run or 2 to get back into the swing of things; but towards the end of the day, i was flying through faster than i ever have.

THIS is the essence of why i love riding, the feeling of real progression and accomplishment. it may not seem a great deal to most people, but it really meant something to me to ride that course like i did.

what sort of things do you feel accomplishment from doing?

i think it could almost be an allegory for life, progression and real accomplishment being our goals, riding a course is a simple metaphor to apply i would think. i won't say too much more about it myself, but it's something nice to ponder.
