Scribble 1:38 PM 3/6/2008 : And suddenly this!

I have a bike in Mangalore and I have to send it to its owner in Palakkad. I will get it done through one of those parcel service people this weekend.

Suddenly I am overcome with tempting thoughts of riding the bike all the way to Palakkad. Won't it be an experience to remember? Will my body permit it? I mean, I am 36 and overveight and not quite used to such long bike rides. My back can act up. I am not even sure if I will be able to finish that journey. What if my back and bum start aching so much by afternoon that I can' t ride anymore for the next two days? I will have to park the bike somewhere in Calicut and come back home!

But I know one thing for sure. The ride won't be boring. Let it take a whole day, even then. Only physical fatigue and pain can make it uninteresting.
