One of the greatest feelings is flow.
When things just go right. That linking up of trail transitions. When a familiar line is taken fast and it flows better into the next line.

This morning the Tarmac felt great. The gear changes were perfect and the venomous cough and spit of the zorst on over run sounded incredible against the cold wet air. The bends were damp and concentration and control were needed. The second cam came in at the perfect time and the simple drive just flowed and came alive, it spoke to me and said "go faster, don't stop, one more line, one more bend- that it, GREAT!!!!".

This was punctuated by the work cackberry telling me I had email, warning me or responsibility and obligation. Take a deep breath, let the excitement and anticipation ease back into the seats for next time. Fight that urge to plot a course for Croyde. Get out the car, tell her "thanks darling" pause and take in her beautiful lines, pat her "see you later". Close the garage.

Some how I think client based UAT will not flow but that is what puts fuel in the tank.

Sigh.

Aw buddy!
I am good. Enjoying being a dad and work is just nuts. Between Fatherhood and work there isnt much left and that seems to be spent on the bike trying to restore some sanity.
Need to catch up soon - how are you?

Deep indeed!

I've only been out once this month for a small drive, as the F1 was an early jobby I have a wee chunk of time for a play today. I'm looking forward to the Lotus flow. smile
