It’s What We Do

This entry is part 1 of 21 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #13

I’m heading to The Far Side.

It’s somewhere different for each of us. I think of ‘The Far Side’ as riding that’s wildly at odds to the riding we each normally do. My ‘normal’ riding isn’t easy to define, but left to choose my own path my riding usually involves some degree of challenge. Maybe it’s distance, maybe it’s terrain, maybe it’s a bike totally unsuited for an intended task or maybe it’s just out and out speed. For me those things say ‘adventure’.

I’m always humping around painkillers, multi-function tools, hard-as-rock tyres and fuel cells that take a day to fill. I live off road-kill and sleep in a hollowed-out log if that’s what it takes to meet the challenge.
