The ‘back’ part was just so brutal last year (2010) but it was a mental game to be able to keep going (provided you hadn’t already gone hypothermic). Looking around at the people as we got back to Carleton University they were as happy to be there as your friend was to finish the day. They had made it and could live to tell the tale.

Riding in all seasons gives you a totally different perspective on things. Thanks for the read my friend.

The thing that gets me is the look of awe on my work mates faces when I rock up in snow or driving rain on my bike. I’m sure they think I’m mad. Maybe I am, but I’m sure enjoying life and the differences the seasons bring.

Great story, though mate, really enjoyed that and boy did it resonate with me!

Now everyone else in the cafe is staring at me uneasily …

I’m grateful for all those moments that I suffered beyond what I thought I was capable of, like last weekend where I finished a race as they were rolling up the start/finish line tape. Thanks for sharing!
