18 Miles Per Hour

18 MilesPerHour is about riding through the world instead of just passing it by.
ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE. That’s an odd expression. That can mean that things can only get worse from this point onward. It can also mean that things are easy from this point onward. This spot on my everyday, local trail ride illustrates that expression perfectly. In both ways. It’s still about 5 miles to home but it’s all high-speed descent with a couple quick uphill sprints that are easily conquered with momentum. It means that all the climbing and gruntwork is over and it’s time to relax and have some fun. Like a skier who’s “earned his turns.” But it also means that the ride is almost over and momentum will carry me down the side of the mountain, right into the shower, into my car and into work. Yep, this is the spot. It’s all downhill from here.
