This is the best part of life.

Life is good. But next to this, nothing is great.

This is after the ride home.

It's dark out and the roads are slippery. It's well below 20c. My hands are cold, I can't feel my face and the wind is picking up.

But it's oh so quiet. The only sound is the snow crunching beneath my tire and my breathing as I push for a little more speed. My legs are burning, and the past few months of inactivity are making my lungs scream.

And I love it. The connection with a bike is true love. My bike is my weapon; my Katana. I am a samurai and the road is mt battlefield. But I am a conqueror.

I am a warlord.

I am unstoppable.
