Introduction
I though MLCs pic looked familiar SP . . .isn't that Tom at the Dilraj?

Welcome Glaconman, and thanks for a thoughtful, thought-provoking post.
I agree with Andy on the scenery aspect. Whilst it would be great to run through the Thelma and Louise set every afternoon, it's the plods through local landscapes on cold, damp, dark nights that define us as runners. In those moments of suburban solitude we find ourselves.

I never did take to cycling. I enjoyed a brief period as a boy racer on a Yamaha RD250, screaming up and down Box Hill on a variety of pharmaceutical enhancements. Your description of the pedalling through Europe makes we wonder if perhaps I've missed out on something quite beautiful.

Disregard for running gadgetry is to be applauded. Devoid of GPS watch I devise measurement methods to make Heath Robinson proud. I succumb on track nights when the heartless bark of the coach, his eyes glued to his stopwatch as we file past, delivers a most public assessment.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
