CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS. Saturday, 12 January 2013. Wednesday 9th Jan 2013, first ride of the year. I'd made all the preparations for a typically rainy day the night before. Hunted around the house for kit that had not been worn in 3 months. Where are my overshoes; where's my helmet cover? Here's the full list of my requirements before I would be happy to ride:. Long sleeved base layer. CO2 pump and cartridges. Hand class was good, I was pleased I'd made the effort, and hearing the reactions of the "in...

CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS: 1st January 2013

CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS. Tuesday, 1 January 2013. Peace be with you in this New Year. A day of mixed emotions, bikewise. My broken left wrist cannot find a comfortable rest on my lovely, unusual, leather clad Randonneur bars (On-One Midge). So they have to come off, to be replaced with boring, predictable flat bars taken from my wife's Specialized Vita, which now has butterfly bars (which may be the way to go for me, we're still experimenting.). I have also added my Airstryke Aero bars.

CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS: December 2012
http://jim-harwood.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS. Saturday, 29 December 2012. Start From Where You Are. Start from where you are, not where you want to be." is the first bit of advice any personal trainer or physiotherapist worth their salt will give you, and as advice goes, it's about as sound as it gets. It applies both physically and mentally, but of course, it involves a degree of acceptance on your part. I'm not where I want to be at the moment. I've been off my bike for over 3 months, one of the longest times ever. A fri...

Perfection in the Imperfections: August 2013
http://livingunconditionally.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Perfection in the Imperfections. Saturday, August 31, 2013. What a good year. About practice, every day’s been a practice but formal sittings were few. Lately I’ve realized that even then, when the stakes are high and feelings intense, all that this little heart wants is just to be heard. To rant. To be understood. While at the same time it continues to seek to understand. To listen. And to accept. Yet it hides. It runs. And it stabs itself. What a crazy heart. Saturday, August 31, 2013. Dr Tan Kheng Koo.

Perfection in the Imperfections: Self-Liberated Appearances, Self-Arisen Wisdom
http://livingunconditionally.blogspot.com/2011/07/self-liberated-appearances-self-arisen.html
Perfection in the Imperfections. Friday, July 1, 2011. Self-Liberated Appearances, Self-Arisen Wisdom. Http:/ www.starsofwisdom.info/page/self-liberated-appearances-self-arisen-wisdom. Outside the three realms are shining in freedom. Inside the wisdom, self-arisen, shines. And in between is the confidence of realizing basic being. I’ve got no fear of the true meaning—that’s all I’ve got! How can we gain certainty about and cultivate our experience of this wisdom? Friday, July 01, 2011. Am I really kind?

Subject to Change: June 2011
http://tk-subjecttochange.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts are forms conceived in the mind. Ramblings come from the heart. This will be a bit of both. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Rest in Peace Brigitte Green. Today I and many dog lovers lost a wonderful, kind, strong advocate for whippets, amazing woman. Brigitte lost a battle with esophageal cancer and it's subsequent surgery today. She will be missed by many. My world is brighter because of her, and darker because of the loss of a bright spirit. Thursday, June 2, 2011. The Moment of Peace. Awesome Inc&#...

Perfection in the Imperfections: September 2013
http://livingunconditionally.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Perfection in the Imperfections. Monday, September 9, 2013. Many a times we find the answers we need in the most uncanny places. By coincidence, chanced upon the poster for this movie at a friend's place yesterday, coupled with some chance meetings with interesting prospects and old friends, I was led to this scene which happened to be one of the few movie scenes that stuck in my memory. I know for now that all this time the drama has been beautifully fabricated. It's time to release it. All karm...The W...

CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS: What Am I Doing?
http://jim-harwood.blogspot.com/2012/06/what-am-i-doing.html
CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS. Tuesday, 26 June 2012. What Am I Doing? Tiverton, a Devon Market Town. 11.30pm, Saturday night. The Police are busy with the tipout of the local pubs and bars, when through town comes a spread-out line of cyclists. They all have good lights, maps, routesheets and head torches on their helmets. As I come through, at the rear of the line, curiosity has got the better of one of them. What are you lot doing? He asks me, with a touch of incedulity in his voice. Is it for charity?

CYCLING BACK TO HAPPINESS. Thursday, 16 February 2012. First Audax (Final Part). Above, or at any rate not here, you have the factual account of my trip to my first Audax and back. But, what of it? I guess the questions you're asking are:. What did I get from it? Will I be doing it again? All these answers and more below. Why did I not just get myself over to Leicester the easy way and just do the ride? While there is always a challenge in riding a 60 mile organised ride, I don't find it. I woke around 7...
