These Bodies Are Engines

My name's Tom. I live on the edge of the south coast in the UK. I spend most my time and interest on cycling, tattoos, music and the usual.

On top Firle Beacon on the ride home from work last night. I spend a big chunk of my time on my bicycle in the dark and wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s quite a different experience. Regular routes have to be double checked while I’m floating through along in a bubble of light surrounded by silhouettes. Nights like yesterday when the moon’s high and the sky’s clear it’s beautiful to cut lights out and   fade into the countryside with no street lights. It’s surprising how many things there are about at that time of night as well. I met two owls, a few foxes and heard seven gun shots from farmers lamping in the fields nearby.

So someone cancelled annual leave later this year which means Don and I are next in line for holiday and now have two weeks off cycling. Norway is happening in less than 8 weeks soon as we book tickets! Tents, sleeping bags, cabins and mountains all the way. So stoked!
