In the deep dark recesses of this particular web page lies a cyclist trapped in a body that is too large. With the yearning to get out and cycle more he has decided to use the date of his brothers wedding to loose a few kilograms.
I know the typical thing is to start a blog to show the progression in loosing weight. And time has come for this to change. This little place on the internet was started because it had to be so much more than a weight-loss blog – even now as I write that word I am shuddering. “Blog”, it’s so web-ified.
What this is, this web-page, is more than that. It is where cycling becomes known as a place of change. It is where cycling becomes known as a place of challenge. It is a little place, in the dark-corner of the internet, where I am here to document change and challenge.
Partially this training section will be where I write about loosing weight, because as I explained before ‘Deep inside a fat body is a champion cycling waiting to bust out’ (okay, maybe I editorialised that statement). So, yes, I am currently overweight but at this stage it hasn’t stopped me from riding – just being a good training aid, carrying that extra weight.
So yes, sometimes I will write about being overweight, but that is not the aim of this particular website. As the catch-phrase says – “If you are not riding epic, you are only commuting” – that is the aim of the website. To inspire more from a bike than it can show itself.
Often times, especially from my recent experience, the idea of riding a bike extends past the idea of riding, and leads right into something more. Where the bike is changed from something that you are doing, to something that you love, right into the realms of something you just need to suffer throught to get home.
And somehow I, along with a few of my friends, hope to capture that essence right here. On this small page, in a dark-lonesome-corner of the internet.
