Let me start with something from a bit farther away from Luton and my weekend first. Well, I’m not exactly from Luton, but I visited that nice place last year and will do again this year in late summer.
Anyway, back to the weekend. It was the weekend of the Spreewaldmarathon here, a big sports event with walking, running, canoing, inline skating and of course cycling. This year I had a friend from Sheffield visiting, and you know, personal competition and such things…, we did the 200km cycle marathon.
The only good thing we could say about the weather was, it was dry. After having done the first half with much headwind one starts to ask oneself, why we’re doing that? What is it, letting us lose our common sense and go for such silly things like riding with hundreds of people in cold and icky weather, without any chance of something like fame?
Anyway, before someone asks, we finished and survived, and it feels incredibly good, having done that.
Common sense is for people without imagination!
