So often when it comes to Cycling people talk of aims, targets, goals and hopes. Though you may find the best plan to truly enjoy one of of life's greatest pastimes is simply to begin pedaling, and assume that all thereafter is progress, which it most assuredly is.
This modest round trip, embarked upon during early Summer 2021, was one of a nutritiously practical nature, and not just for myself! Around the UK's historic and visually breath-snatching coast, it is frequently considered a luxury to not be compelled to brace against a biting Wind, and on this particular day along the seafront of West Sussex, conditions in sleepy little Shoreham were so inspiring clement that I found myself wishing they could be bottled for use throughout the oncoming Winter.
No doubt our government would happily privatize oxygen as soon as the relevant corporations devised "honorably profitable" methods to market virus free supplies! Please relish every breath you take!
Filmed on a four year old Sony FDR X3000 camera, which rivals many more recent GoPro Heros - up to and including the 9 - due to its rich, natural color definition and universally acclaimed true optical image stabilization, even if the quality here was somewhat marred by Sony's official "VCTHM2.SYH" handlebar mount, which has a tendency to judder violently over especially large bumps!
Sadly, and somewhat ironically, it is the only mount I had readily available that would fit alongside my heavenly Niner's remote rear suspension lockout lever!
