RE: Climbing a mountain before breakfast…

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Years ago, I used to talk day trips, but I’ve only ever done one extended long-distance trip. To say it was an adventure is an understatement.

I put a flimsy rack over my back tire and tied a mountain climbing backpack to it and left without even knowing how to change a tire. 🤣

After the third day, I ended up in the hospital with heat stroke, and on day five I rode another 140 kilometers and then climbed a small mountain (on foot) at the destination because my friend and I arrived 10 minutes after the cable car shut down for the night.

It was wild, but well worth it. I definitely hope to do it again in the future.

That's the kind of stories I want to talk about to people!!😂 Or thats the people I want around me, that are able to tell stories like that. Either way that:

To say it was an adventure is an understatement.

...sums it up pretty well.

They may well be all around you. If you met me, you probably wouldn’t think I have stories like that to tell just by looking at me.

Starting families (read as having kids) means that a lot of things change. 😊

Before having kids, I dreamed of continuing to have adventures like that and to do so with a family, but I haven’t yet figured it out. When you have to account for your spouse’s likes and dislikes, and the personalities of your children (which you don’t get to pick), it can feel pretty complicated. I say feel, because this might just be an issue I have. Maybe doing so is easier than I think.

A good reminder not to judge too much from the looks:)

Hmm yes, that is something, that would go together in my life, (in my head, so far) then on the other side it is already quite hard to do even when you only have to consider yourself...
It probably feels easier after you have done it? And I bet that it would definitely take some time to figure it out. On the other side a family is quite another adventure of life all together, I imagine?
