In the seventies cycle docs about the roubaix, 'a sunday in hell' and the 74 tour, 'stars and water carriers' there is a lovely bit where the brooklyn team are riding out to loosen up before the day kicks of proper, and it's really bright, the spokes are catching the sun, and all you can hear is the whir and click of freshly prepared Gios...and birdsong...ahhhh we'd best start paying attention people...the birdsong is being endangered...
It's dependent on the surroundings..if I'm in london and its normal...just thinking to stay alive...if its really early...ie I sometimes go out at 5 am just as the sun's breaking then you have time to Zen out...that when cycling really does become something special...when you have a cool fresh sunny morning and can put a few miles in then you can really zone out...I love it when you have done maybe 5 -10 miles and it's not really registered, you have just been in there...the zone...;D...
the dunwich is coming up...
