Life of a working man...


With my first week of work in the books and the second week in progress I can finally consider myself to be a part of the "real world". I've heard a lot of talk about this unfamiliar territory and how it will bring my riding abilities closer to other working individuals. But there is one little problem that I have with this common theory. My enthusiasm for riding is so much higher than it had been when I had all day to play on my bike. I know I'm still new to this whole working thing, but I cannot see this attitude changing. I mean, I'm obligated to doing something I wouldn't otherwise do for a third of my day, another third is spent sleeping, 3 hours for eating, and then theres only 5 more hours to spare. So as I'm at work I can't help but to think about riding. It's what I'd be doing if I weren't working. This is what makes the post work ride so rewarding. It gives me a whole new appreciation for the ride as my time becomes restricted.

Congrats on the job and welcome to the "real world" it's all down hill with a bullet now! Kidding, congrats.

The post work ride is glorious. For me you add in a wife and kid and it becomes two hours of "me" time you can't get anywhere else.

When I'm at work all I think about is riding. Just look at my WWW. history!!
