Wind in your hair, the hum of wheels, the click of gears, the sound of bird song, fresh air, warm sun on bare skin, leg muscles thrumming and heart pumping. You feel you are in control of your destiny and you are free. This is cycling.

My amazing adventure, the Camino of Santiago, has all but finished. I found myself to be far more capable than I could have imagined and hope to carry that through into everyday life.
