Life is about feelings!
when number say nothing,
when suffering is a test, suffering is a fest,
when you don’t want to rest when mythology is really half man half bike
when you’free from things and everything you need fits in a saddle bag when you feel complete it can rain , it can snow, it can be hot as fucking hell
when you are hungry
when the comrades support you
when the comrades defy you
when you get a flat and then another
when you share when you push
when you walk uphill when you pack again and again
when you need to pedal
when you can’t stop
when you cry
when the nature talks to you
when you feel pain
when there is no word in any language to describe what you are feeling
when you…live
when you know that each moment is unique but other moments are waiting for you at each push of the pedals
when it is everything and it is… Nada Especial.
