So, Tadej Pogačar won the UCI World Championships, and the Grand Nairobi Bike Race 2024 was held this week. I watched the highlights on YouTube and my body desired to get out and hit the roads. This was on Sunday September, and I really craved a ride.
Come Monday, yours trully was ready to set out. Woke up at around 6am to the sound of rain. Normally this isn't enough to stop me from going for a ride, but the rains persisted. It rained, rained, and rained some more. I was dissapointed to be honest. I was really looking forward to a long ride with my friends but the possibilities seemed very bleak. Frustrated, I went back to bed, and woke up at around 12 noon.
The rains stopped in the afternoon, but at this point, I had given up on the ride, or so I thought! When it got to around 4pm, the thought of going to bed without this ride killed me. I shot a text to my buddy, geared up and left the house. It was muddy, cold, but we didn't care. We needed this!
By the way, did I mention that Pogi won the World Championships!
It was a beautiful ride!
