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.

Get out the fucking hallmark card

Cuz this is a precious moment. Sag land on the Double Boundary. Steve and I roll in, drink lots, refill, eat. A few more guys roll in, then a few more, then a lot more. Soon half the field or more are lounging around, sharing food, lubing chains, talking about being tired. Funny, but also a high gravity field. Dangerous in the wrong hands.

That’s when I say: “Hurry up Chad, so we can go get lost!”

I’m sure right now Rich is psyched he listened to me when I told him to take a picture, because these are the little moments that define our lives.

I also want to add that my bike is like a god damn praying mantis, ready to pounce when you least expect! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    Mantis is a good name for your bike. Even though Richard Cunningham has already used it.

    Given his “interesting” late contributions to the cycling canon, I’m not sure how I feel about that. I do like the name.
