3:46 AM: spent the first hours of the new year riding a no-food, no energy gel, century, solo.
It felt good to have power coursing through one's legs: endless, tireless; megawatts on tap — ever spinning, ever surging forth.
And a song on repeat.
Enjoy the video.
Then ride.
4 minutes 36 seconds of heaven, of history made, of eternity.
My mind is in a state
But all I need to do is change my pace
And I know there's fear to face
But happiness is found in its embrace
Life is a play: it's not its length but its performance that counts.

Heh heh! 'Can't help it, Chris, the streets are only quiet in the wee hours of the morning :-D
Happy New Year!

There's time enough for sleep when you're dead!
No food, no gel solos not enough... no hands!
!!!
Fantastic song! The perfect song for burning the midnight lamp.
I just discovered your blog from searches on Google of "Butterfly trail". Keep up the great photography!
What GPS system are you using to track your trails?
Thank you :-D
I had the older Garmin Forerunner 201, which died while crashing on a drizzly night descending Kings Park in Perth. I used a GPS60 (loaned) for my Thailand-to-Singapore Ride. Feeding it with batteries burned my wallet, so I only used a map and compass for my Munda Biddi Stage 1 Ride (ride reports still in progress).
Thanks for dropping by!
