On personality types

After so long of not riding, or doing piss poor 5-minutes-a-go riding, I managed to clock up a couple of decent hours on the bike in the last 2 days.

While freezing and rat-soaked on the highway this afternoon, i managed to observe myself not giving in to the usual trepidation of riding among big trucks in a downpour. Instead, i was actually feeling normal about it all.

Aside from the fact that it's been almost a year that i've owned and ridden my bike, there can be only one other reason: i was too pre-occupied with being cold and trying to get home to bother with anything else.

Rain pouring into the neck of my jacket, winter lining out and vents letting air in like they're supposed to make one pretty cold rider. Stopped for red lights 10 minutes from home and found myself shivering visibly. Drivers snug and warm around me must have laughed heartily to see it, while sucking on my exhaust :P
