Bicycle Therapy

It’s 7 months since I started on the road as a Trainee Ambulance Technician, and I love it.  It’s a strange job though, and we probably see things that most people would never wish to experience.  Most days aren’t like that, but every now and then a ‘job’ comes along that stays with you. 

You wake up the next morning with tired glutes, shoulders, hands… and perhaps feel a little bit out of sorts. Something’s not right with the world. You need a means of processing, of resetting.

And that’s how I felt this morning.  

I desperately needed a bike ride today, to feel the sun on my face, the tarmac under my wheels, to use my legs to power me up a hill, and to share stories with a friend. 

Some spring sunshine, hard effort, coffee & cake, and time spent outdoors.  Equilibrium restored, until the next time.
