I feel the same, react similar and my destination will always be there whenever I get there. When I see 'strava' stats for 'fastest time' here and there, I think to myself, "Why? You might as well be on a stationary!" Anywho... great philosophy, great story. I will continue to encourage all peoples to 'get on their bikes and ride'. and in your words, to "own the trail". Thanks!'

It's great when a bird appears to fly beside us as we ride,barn owls,rooks and occasionally buzzard's seem to follow you for several hundred metres without being spooked by us. It's always a wonderful experience!
