Nov. 18 rides

Hi all

I've just found this thread.

Today I went out to do a particular route. In the end I did a different route. I've decided that that's a more positive way to see it than to say that I got lost. when I got home I studied the map and realised that I was where I thought I was, rather than where I had planned to be.

However, the route I found was great. I was in the hills on my road bike and I was free and happy. When I cycled back I just flew down the hills. There was snow on the peaks (I live in Scotland) and it was so beautiful and life felt good.

So in future I will try to remember that often there is no such thing as getting lost, it's just a case of changing your mind about the route you're going to take...

Here's to freedom...

I also did El Tour. Got to see FL from the middle of the slivers, and got 109 in. Was not thrilled with the risky-ness of my fellow riders, though. Good thing I stayed out of Gold.
