Post National Blues

[RickSkye]

How is everyone else doing after the National ? Good fun meeting everyone. The ride home realy scratched an itch, now back to work with a bump.
I STILL can't concentrate at work.
Started riding at 18, stopped at 28, started again at 49 and had birthday 52 last sunday, you would think I had got over it by now, but no way, I think I realy got the bug again. Can't stop thinking about going out on the bike, need to do a long run again. AAAAGGGHhhhhhh.

If only I could get the wife on the bike again.

Sucks doesn't it?!


There is only one course of treatment unfortunately, and that's a long trip.

Sadly though this merely treats the symptoms and not the root of the problem which is, rather devastatingly, untreatable.

You're infected for life

Yup, got it bad too. Am starting to plan a trip round Scotland for next year. God it's a long time away!!!

Thats a good idea, bit of therapy, plan a trip.

Must get on with some work first.

Yeh the national seems like a distant memory, it was my first encounter with a "biking community" It was good to realise that everyone was just as nuts as me!! there were a few sobering influences but they certainly weren't Samben or Recycler (or as I like to call him "paul")
I can't wait till february and the wales thingy, in the meantime though I gotta find something bikey to do and stop buying nails

That's why we're off to Normandy again this weekend!

I've also planned a trip to northern Spain next April (there's a thread about it somewhere on here) and am toying with the idea of taking the bike to the Czech Republic next year (it's a 2CV event, but I may take two wheels instead of four this time).

Not only that, my wife's given me permission to go travelling in Europe for as long as I like - so long as I can fund it from my equity in our house. (I don't think there's an ulterior motive...)

I think the bug has bitten me.

If only I had the money to actually be able to afford everything I've got planned!

That's the clincher ......MONEY, I got the ideas and the bike

Same feeling for me. Need to do something, local is too mundane.
