I woke up and sat bolt upright at 03.20 this morning. I have no reason as to why but was bizarrely drawn to logging on to the interweb and sending a text. I then went back to bed for an hour or so. I have to say that this is not a regular occurrence and have no idea as to why this happened.
I am reading a book about adventure cycle touring at the moment and page 11 focuses on people you might meet and travel with...'friendships with origins back home don't always survive the transition to the road where old rules or loyalties are no longer relevant. Travel gives you the freedom to find your own style as a process of self-discovery, and that is often easiest done in the company of strangers where you can re-invent yourself as the miles unroll. If you are riding with a friend from home, you need to talk about all these possibilities and agree that expectations may change on a long ride, and have to be accommodated.' Stephen Lord and his fellow contributors to this text have done this before. They know. I wont translate into blog the paragraph that follows as that is where my true self is at. It makes for an interesting read my friends. I look forward to the day when I can realise my dream of doing something similar but different.
