Cycling The Road Less Travelled

It occurred to me today that it’s an odd thing we do, Spiros, I and other cycle tourers like us. We wake up, get on our bicycles, cycle for hours on end until we get tired and then we stop. Some days it’s through gorgeous scenery, some days its not; it doesn’t always matter. Sometimes the destination itself doesn’t even matter all that much. It’s the act of travelling under our own power, at a pace that allows us to better understand the country we are going through, to interact with the people we pass, to be on roads far away from the main tourist track. Yup, it’s an odd thing we do but I just can’t seem to get enough.
