A fresh day

This weekend has marked a couple of things.

First up – I’m taking another attempt at getting off the smokes. Trying the patches this time. Day 1’s tally was 3 smokes, and day 2 was 4 smokes. Not bad for coming down from nearly 20 a day!

Also, I simply had the best day today, going for a run out to the bay. It really reminded me of why I started CR.

We had a tremondous time both out there and back (especially back). I managed to surprise a heck of a lot of people with the capabilities of the 109, which put a grin on my face – ear to ear. It was so good getting out and seeing both all the regulars, but also some new people as well that have come to join our friendly crew.

It was great to pass on some knowlege, and then see the riders eyes light up and a big smile come across their face when they realised they had nailed what I had been telling them.

Fucking brilliant.

I’m really enjoying it again – and have promised myself not to take the whole thing so seriously, and remember why I started CR in the first place.
