Recharge

To recharge your batteries, sometimes you have to use all their power.

Last weekend I took Will and Sam up the Goorooyarroo reserve track, we had a lovely time of exploring.

This weekend I decided I wanted to see a little more, so I took the trusty GIANT and rode up there.
Its not only one track but a maze of many tracks criss-crossing back and forth.

I probably rode about 10 or so Km's of it this morning. Amazing ride, not that I'm a big rider but its probably the best I have been on. Loved it! You can take it fairly easy if you want or there are some steep hills aswell. The thing I like the most is its not only about a 5 minute ride from our house but you could be anywhere once you leave the roadside. I passed a couple of early morning runners but apart from that, the reserve seemed to be all me, my bike and my ipods. (oh yeh, some roo's, an echidna and some sheep too)

I have taken being fit for granted over the years. Playing sport most of my life and about 15 years of it at a pretty decent standard, you are always doing something and dont have to think about fitness. The bike has not only turned into a great fitness tool but a great way to escape the 'every day' and relax my mind. Its funny how exhausting yourself is sometimes the best way to feel energized, you instantly feel better about the things that seemed to matter so much before.
