Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

Slowness this weekend and an increase in ambition for the coming month have me messing with the mechanical status quo. The bike.

Put a 34t up front, a Nano in the back, and resurrected the old maligned XR front for, the front. Kicking a couple hours of dirt road climbing today the gear felt tall, but in the end felt fast. I think the Nano will stay, the XR likely also (though the other tire’s demise worries me w/r/t rocks). The gear will too. For the KTR I really want to hang it all out, and being able to go in the middle will I think facilitate that. I’ve always been a strong walker, anyway.

So now I contemplate, White Rim this weekend? So much close to home, but I haven’t ridden it yet this year, and the ritual of travel gets me fired up. More on rituals this week, I think.

    Dude- I understood when you did it accidentally cause you didn’t pay attention to who was logged it… but doing it on purpose is just a little weird.-M to Davep.s. Don’t you just hate those increases in ambition…

    Have fun going clock-wise- I think it’s the superior direction. I however, will be assisting my dearest, lovely wife with her less then lovely car as it re-established the definition of Bad this afternoon- sounds like a major intensive is planned for this weekend- have fun kids-
