training ride 10km in 40min

After a busy day, my son & i argarguedued about taking a relative in as a foster child.  I found this upsetting & disappointing so Iooked to  my Jamis Coda for ssupport.  
It was getting dark, but i needed tp get some frustrations out,  I needed to ride.  With lights aglow we hit the road,  & then some gravel.  The turnaround point was somewhere up a really steep firetrail. Down in Granny Gear,  grinding it out hard until my breath gave out.  
Exhausted,  I dropped Coda bikepacker settle on the side of the trail & gulped some water. Feeling thrilled & free of any remaining stress symptoms in my body. 
After a rocketing downhill we set a cracking pace home,  not to finish the ride,  but to keep up an  exhausting tempo. 
I can't make the world so what I want,  but i can ride tto feel better when things go to shit.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
