Pottering around the beautiful beaches of Bachok I came across Jack a solo cyclist who had been on the road for quite sometimes, so long that he had acquired the mean and tanned look with not an ounce of fat around his belly. I envy his cycling philosophy of not rushing but taking things in long easy strides, if he thinks something caught his fancy he would stay put as long as he likes. Tomorrow, there is no target to be reached. This is how he ends up taking a beach chalet here for the past one month.
When he is on the road he pulls a yellow trailer in replacement of panniers, which is quite a drag as I found out. His bike is not the fancy type but a very ordinary one which he bought in Thailand for only RM650.00, a price for the middling model which goes to prove a point that its not what you ride but what is riding you that decides whether you are merely a fair weather rider or that you belong to the cycling Nirvana. Go Jack, go.
