Steel horse

Ok, so it's actually steel and plastic and rubber...and it's technically not a horse at all, but one rides it so fuck it, I'm calling it a horse.

You know when you get the urge to do something and you're all antsy and on edge until you do it? Well, I wanted needed to go for a ride, to hit the trails, and nothing was going to stop me; well...maybe a cataclysmic event and global apocalypse might have stopped me but if I'm honest I want that to happen so I'd be ok with that getting in the way. 😶

I've had some time off work between roles after leaving one and accepting (and now beginning) another. I wanted to detach for a while and spent some time doing some stuff I've not had the chance to get to for a while, it was a sort of re-set, and riding helps me do that so I thought fuck it, that's what I'm going to do...it'd been far too long since the last time and I'd been far too responsible (work focused); it was time to cut loose and kick up some dirt.

You can see my truck above, hooked up to the bike trailer which I collected from my storage facility (a big old automotive manufacturing factory converted to storage for rent) prior to heading home to pack and prepare for a trip away the following day - more to come on that trip in another post down the track - it was a good one, I'll elaborate later. (I may even do a post on the motorbike hauler as well.)

How do you detach from the grind of work, general commitments or your every day life? I like relaxing, gardening, reading, hiking and being in natural places, spending time at home with my girl-human and many other things...but I also like being adventurous, pushing limits and being a boy, so I do more dynamic stuff like motorbike riding and as well.

Tell me how you do it in the comments below if you want.
