Gravel. Even the word sounds uncomfortable. At odds to my road biking world, the usual black tarmac lines swapped for the stark white trails. It’s riding, but not as we know it…

A hill climb podium position and the power of small victories. It’s all relative, right?

If a cycling God exists, they would live at the summit of Lago del Narèt. It’s not the longest, not the highest, not even the steepest. This climb needs no such gimmicks. It has beauty.

I can’t remember when I stopped counting. I know not what compels me to ride all day, traversing distances some people think twice about when driving. Anything less than 100 miles is now a short ride. When did that happen?

Beauty can lie within the ordinary. The humdrum. The good old commute.

A story more interesting than the subject. Clip on aero bars? Yawn. And yet my first ride took me by surprise. It was thrilling! My new found speed was electric, amplified by my new position closer to the ground. How quick?

A peek into the madness that is the amateur cyclist’s daily life. So Pro…

It will never happen to me. Yet it did. Humiliation, defeat, weakness. It wasn’t even a quick ride. Bump, gone, just like that. Dropped.
