7/24: The Roadie's View

It’s now past midnight and I wonder what on earth we are doing. I’m exhausted, I’ve ridden all day and I’m now in the middle of nowhere, in the dark trying to ride the Seven Stanes within 24 hours for no particular reason, its not an official event, there are no crowds, no prizes, I’m a adult with a sensible job, in a nice house with a wonderful wife. In flash it strikes me exactly why I’m doing this. I grin at Simon my ‘team support’ sitting in his jeep, knowing that when I finish, he is riding through the dawn towards the finish, no one to keep him company but a few close friends. Of course this is why we are doing it.
