Leg disembowelment

I've cut a nice trail away from the Carribean coast. Dusty, washboard Moutain roads, seems like all of honduras is on fire. Something of a controlled burn that is not to controlled. The smoke burns the lungs and cast a haze over the sun making it a red orb in the sky.  I'm certainly not used to riding my old pace. I have either been laying soft on the pedals or checking over my shoulder every few minutes for the last 9 months. No that it was a bad thing to slow down a bit and enjoy things from a moderated pace. The company was good too. It just came as a bit of a shock to the legs at the speed and distance my mind wanted to ride. I guess I'm also trying to put Honduras behind me, my least favorite country pretty much of all time.
  I'm in the pueblo of Talanga and should be crossing into Nicaragua tomorrow.
   I gotta get a new camera cord before I can post any pictures but I'll try and keep the reports a bit less sporatic these days. Time fer lunch and a some pedaling!

  2. agreed. funny how when shit hits the fan, and someone is facing a tragedy- and they are forced to do what's right-- sometimes the answer is: "nothing to do but keep riding". don't wanna disrupt any adventures now people...

  3. I'v chosen to keep this blog therefore putting myself on display for everyone with access to a computer. And by allowing comments I put myself under farther speculation. So, you might think I'm ok with every 2 cents anyone wants to throw in, but I'm not. Is it not obvious this adventure has been disrupted. This break from my partner and best frieend is already the saddest time I've ever known. Yes, I can get a farther distance in a day alone but it leaves out what I like most about my days> being with Kelly. This time we are apart is not at all permanent but it stings none the less. We went through a lot of options and it did seem best for me to "keep riding". So while I try to go through this time optimistically and or shred my legs off in my own way of dealing. please dont comment without some tact for the situation.
