A couple of years ago I had to quit surfing after 30 something years of dedication. I'd always cycled but more to keep fit for surfing. After a serious dose of self pity I decided that not surfing but being able to ride isn't the worst thing in the world, other people have real problems. I moved to riding paradise around the same time. A pleasant warm up of 8km from my gate takes me into a 480km network of logging trails, gravel paradise. I ride here often, I almost never see anyone else. I also work from home so on a slow day, I might pop out for an hour or two

Nice, I also quits surfing and took up cycling. Although every so now and again I will catch a few waves.

Whenever I travel on the national highways , at a boring 120kph , I look at the countryside and notice meandering dirt roads in the distance.( mostly uphill ) I always point it out to my wife and tell her that I wish I was there for my ride.
