Change

Change is inevitable - right! But can be super annoying when not the change we want.

Today Lee and I headed off for another board room meeting, aka mountain biking at Terry Hills. This is one of our favourite rides as it flows with enough physical exercion plus technical challenge to keep us interested. It certainly doesn't feel like exercise to me even though we are working like machines.

So back to the change... Today we rode the start of the track all going great and then we came to a section where a bulldozer was knocking down a tree (fortunately we noticed this and avoided) plus the track from then was smooth. Not quite as smooth as a baby's bottom but smooth enough to make the ride a little boring. Frustrating when change like this happens and is out of our control.

Anyway felt a rant in order, and yes we did speak to the guy in the bulldozer (Lee mostly) and turns out there is valid reasoning behind this process to avoid run off from track going in to the bush etc. Seems the state forest are cashed up and taking lots of action.

What I have noticed in life is there are so many agendas. The track is used by walkers, mountain bikers, hopefully dirt bikers (to tear up the track and make more challenging) and ultimately firefighters.

I guess its not that big a deal when potentially a life may be saved from this work, but hoping it gets rough fast anyway.

Oh and while Im writing I think this was the closest I have seen Lee come to crying.
