Cake or Kielder

Cake.

I'm not going to race this weekend. Cycling is a hobby - an integral, enjoyable, beautiful part of 'me' but still a hobby. Nothing more. I don't owe it anything and it doesn't owe me anything. We have a mutually agreeable relationship.

At at the moment we aren't speaking.

So I'm going to spend the weekend with my other friends. Running and climbing. Cycling will get over it.

Does anyone want my Kielder number?

I'm with you. Cake all the way.

Hobbies are there to be enjoyed and should never turn into a chore.

Just a thought but perhaps you could take the cake to Kielder?
I'm sure you'd be very popular!

Good call! But now you are faced with the ultimate decision… what cake to make?

Sent you an email.

Only Trio could talk some-one else into doing this!

hehe! cycling forgives you already I'm sure. You know, I've been noticing myself enjoying mountain biking more the past week or two since I don't have any pending big races coming up. I'm not trying to make a certain distance or constantly feeling like I should be going harder. I've been stopping when I feel like it and everything. Amazing.

Understand entirely why you won't be there... but will miss you!
