Is the bit of a ride you look forward to the most the end of it? VecchioJo makes the case... cycling
My favourite part of a lot of rides is the end. Not because I’m exhausted or I really need tea and buns, but because I won’t be riding with anyone else any more.
> VecchioJo:"This isn't about cycle lanes or the Highway Code – I just want to get home in one piece" We have done what needed to be done, signs and summits have been friendly fought for, wheels sucked, turns taken, miles ticked off... there doesn’t need to be a stop and a lengthy debrief. We could have already stopped for coffee and cake mid-ride or a pint and crisps to put a line under things, so all conversation is fulfilled, all the worlds put to rights, all moaning purged, bad jokes disposed of.
It’s the smallest gesture but it carries a lot with it. Thanks, politeness, respect, a sprinkling of etiquette, it’s there in the moment at the end of the race where you reach out for the hand of your closest competitor as a gesture of appreciation for the battle won or lost, gracious both in defeat or victory.
