Nov 7th - The Day Before I'm sitting at my desk, supposedly concentrating on winding up my work, but my head refuses to cooperate. My brains have decided to start their vacation a little early and are already out there exploring the sun, sand and surf. Another 14 hours before the rest of me can catch up! I constantly stare at the clock on my desktop in a vain effort to make time flow faster. Just as I'm starting to go over the top, I'm taught a lesson in relativity by Gaurav's mail about the Anniv Ride. My head emerges from the vast blue oceans it was so blissfully immersed in, to go traipsing along rickety bridges with scenic backdrops. Not for the first time, I wonder if one lifetime will be enough to cover all the places I want to see. As thoughts head back to my own little journey, I wonder if I made the right decision in starting a ride with a seized engine, and I pray the bike will hold up for the next 4 days. I also feel a slight pang of emotion...in all likeliho
