Well isn't that just the cat's meow! I can now share with you my progress of biking and well any other activity via Runtastic. Just take a gander to your right and bam there it is!
Seeing how I love biking so and do so much of it why not. And well I always like to track my progress and see how I am doing.
Goal for next year - Compete! Yes indeed I am hoping to get into racing, possibly some Enduro races, the 24 Hours of Adrenaline is a big goal of mine I would love to accomplish. And well we all need goals to strive for! So winter is coming but that won't stop me from riding and preparing for next summer!
And on that note I am off for for a rip!
Enjoi the ride.
Wow where has the time gone?
Seems like just yesterday it was spring.
Summer has come and gone and it barely took the time to say hello.
How rude!
So what exactly happened. Right life. I used to write about that ...
Interesting how it comes and goes inspiration to write hits when it does and well sometimes that doesn't happen for well apparently months at a time seeing as my last post was back in August. Whoops? Nah not a whoops, the whole point of writing isn't to force it but to let it happen when the inspiration hits you. Many things inspire me some more then others. Some simple as music and some would be much more complex. We may not always have that inspiration we need, which can be without a doubt tough! But when one does have that inspiration however best watch out for there is no stopping them!
Now then I do believe an update would be in order seeing as I am here now. It has been a busy summer... wait can call it summer even? For technicalities we shall let it remain as such. I digress. Where was I, right life back on track as it were. I have enjoyed the past year it has been an adventure with some good changes and well one of the best things was a certain lack of change oddly enough. I have been extremely happy going into the office day in and day out. We have been busy which I love and I can say without a doubt that I do indeed love my job. Lucked out finally finding what I was looking for. Somewhere I belong, am challenged and most importantly appreciated. It is a great feeling to say the least.
Winter is fast approaching and I am excited for it. Work is keeping me busy. Life is good. Finding more reasons to smile every day. Taking it day by day and just going with the flow making sure to enjoy life and those things that inspire us.
And with that I bid thee adieu until our next encounter.
Inspired to Enjoi.
Oh biking how I have missed it.
About three years ago my beloved mountain bike was jacked. Came home and was asked
"Ryan you move your bike or something?"
"I replied no why do you ask??"
Receive an Oh Shit look...
"My bike isn't on the balcony??"
I head to the balcony... table - Check, BBQ - Check, Bike - WTF!!!!!!
Note that I lived on the second floor at the time. Needless to say I was pissed. I loved that bike and rode that thing at least 10 hours a week. And it was gone. Just a few scratches on the railing as a reminder.So 3 years pass - unable to afford a new mountain bike. I may have expensive tastes.
Then praise the Jesus - A fellow Air Rider has his bike for sale - Dirt jumper 200 dollars. So I go check it out - Nice bike but not exactly what I was looking for. We chatted for a bit, he showed me his project Jetta. And then I saw it... A bad ass Kona Stinky. Thought it looked like an awesome bike. But at the time told him I would think about the Dirt jumper. So I head home.
Next day I message him.
"Gotta ask, that Stinky - it up for grabs? And what would you want for it??"
He replies that it is and gives me a price. I like said price. In no time at all I have driven out to the Park and managed to stuff this full downhill bike into the back of my Gti. A tight squeeze but she fit. I love my car.
Been a great start to Spring - been out biking a ton with friends and by myself and man alive I forgot how much fun it is! Not to mention I have now begun to jump - even more awesomeness there.
OH SHIT YES - I GOT YOU GOOD YOU FUCKER....
Ryan - 1
Mouse - 0
Told you I would get you.
Don't forget to always Enjoi.
