The last few months have been insanely stressful, for nearly every reason you could think of. Family, relationships, conflict, work, loss and painful memories. I was losing myself and needed to find some peace. Over four days of perfect weather, I headed up to Brisbane and back to hang with my brother on the 1st anniverary of our Mums passing and then to Armidale for New Years Eve with my Dad and Stepmum. I travelled just on 2000kms through some of the most beautiful countryside Australia has to offer on a trusty 28 year old bike. I took time to breathe in everything, looking outward at the amazing world and people around me. While it was only a short ride, compared to the grander journeys some friends of mine engage in, it was a perfect journey for me. My ears are ringing, my wrists are sunburnt, my shoulders still ache but for the first time in a longtime I returned home and slept the most sound and peaceful sleep. As anyone who rides will tell you, upon two wheels is one of the best places to start healing.
