You may have noticed that blog and twitter posts have been a little scarce over the last few weeks. That’s because I decided to take up a new hobby and it’s taken over my life.<\/p>\nYou may have noticed that blog and twitter posts have been a little scarce over the last few weeks. That’s because I decided to take up a new hobby and it’s taken over my life.<\/p>\n
Five weeks ago I decided to join my husband on a 570km 9 day cycle tour, along with 1500 other people. A bit of a strange decision for someone who hasn’t really been into cycling before, but there it is. Always good to try something new.<\/p>\n
What happened is I discovered the wonder of recumbent tricycle riding. I had a go on my husband’s new trike and decided to steal it off him. As you can see from the production pic above, it’s like a billycart for grown ups. No more aching crotch, wrists or neck like you get on a normal bike, just a lot of laying back and enjoying the view… and going really fast down hills (although, damn, it’s a bitch getting to the top of said hills). <\/p>\n
Since then I’ve been in training, trying to build up my muscles enough to cope with average rides of 75km a day. I’ve also been stocking up on sexy lycra clothing and camping equipment, learning about cogs, cranks and derailleurs and generally turning into a cycling nerd.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I’ve been taking a bit of a mental break from porn. After the stress of the last 7 months, I’ve needed it. So I haven’t been keeping up with my usual news feeds or searching out good pics to post. It’s also been nice to mentally withdraw from a few of the usual conflicts: anti-porn, censorship, religious bigotry etc. Sometimes you just need to step back and refresh your mind a little.<\/p>\n
I do still want to keep up my blogging but it’s not as frequent as it could be. And I’ll be pretty much offline for 9 days when the tour starts on September 4.<\/p>\n
Rest assured, I’ll be back into the swing of things when I return, hopefully fitter and thinner than before. And then it might finally be time to make that movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
