That Moment

Holy shit moments. We’ve all had them. That moment when you’re just riding along and BAM, something happens that makes your heart rate soar and your butt-cheeks clench. Had one of those Friday morning before work as Tay-Tay, Ethan and I rode to Port Credit and back.

Zipping along Lakeshore Blvd at about 35-37kph I suddenly found myself rolling precariously within a crack in the road. It was just barely wide enough to accommodate my 25c tires about 10-12 feet long. The inch deep crevice was devoid of the tar used to cheaply patch Canadian roads. I could feel the edges of the aspalt buzzing the sides of my tires, my trajectory bouncing and bumping forward …at speed, with cars–both parked and moving–on either side, a cyclist ahead and behind me. Trying not to focus on the fact that at any moment, a tire could catch an edge and I’d be flipped over the bars. Holy Shit!

There was that moment where I knew things could go ever so badly,  That uneasy place on the edge of disaster, where only calm will get you through. Been here before, will be there again. It’s never a fun place to be, just a relief to get through.

Breathe, don’t think, just ride.

Some times things go badly, sometimes they go well. Which way they’ll go, we never can tell.  All we can do is weather the storm with calm, come out the other side smiling.
