Three letters, in capitals stand for “Did Not Finish” have a profound effect on me The idea of not completing a ride due to inane issue such as mechanical, health, or just severe weather bother me so much that I occasional feel horribly desolated, unable to face anyone even thought they have little concern about a simple “bike ride”, it’s the only thing I find myself...

Adventure in Depressions

This comic blog that he wrote really hit it perfectly, especially this feeling I get when I finally snap out of it and go on the bike. An oldie I know, but I can related to it.

Since my custom 650B Randonneur bicycle is about to be done, I can finally get rid of the heavy steel CX bicycle that I’ve changed into a semi-decent audax bicycle for a lightweight aluminium road bicycle; the Cannondale CAAD8. I’m hoping that my theory of riding a heavy and uninspiring bicycle for almost a year and have done various audax ride that made it feel like I’m quite...

clarounette asked: Hi. I saw your picture of abandoned cars in the Ardennes Forest. I live in Belgium, and I'd like to show this to my husband as a surprise. Could you tell me more about the place you took the photo? Maybe the exact location. Thank you very much.

What Do You Think About While Cycling

“that looks nice”, “I’m hungry”, “look at that”, “I’m thirsty”, “not seen anything like that for a while”, “I need to shift position”, “it’s so quiet”, “here comes a bend”, “I’ve not seen a car for over half an hour”, “mmm, banana flavour”, “engage...

New Year Resolution

These sort of thing people often make and forget afterward which is fairly common, however I have a clear plan of what to do in 2013 already before 2013 beckoning; Complete the London-Edinburgh-London Audax. A 1400km audax in 5 days averaging 175 miles a day, I wanted to do some serious ride that’s out of my ability/comfort zone, I personally think that we should do thing we’ve no...

Love After Love

The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by...

I went to Copenhagen to visit the ex, lovely seeing her again but was such a bad timing as my head was an origami to put it extremely mildly, one of those years I get incredibly barren from my own head. Before I left, I made sure my weight should be about 70kg for her, she doesn’t says it, nor show it but I can just about tell she’s a tad worried, hard to tell sometime. And now...

I’m not a member of the “roadie” sub-culture, nor do I particularly wish to be (some of the rules are funny, some are sage, many are totally ridiculous), but it made me realize that I have formed my own set of rules after several years of cycling in London.
