No doubt his composure on the bike was what characterized him. But nevertheless, it was very difficult to take him down when he stopped thinking about it. Thus, with an infinite laziness, ascended as the angels, as if levitating over the mountains, as if gravity had been invested in its path.
His bike was not the most modern, no nano, no ligerita things. Had always sought the reliability in all its components.

you wore at his side quickly and the conversation flowed, his legs were still rhythmic pace while commenting on the grandeur of the landscape, you had any housework or asked you for your father who had also met on the bike, that some years ago.
However, that day the way he moves in the group was not usual. He seemed nervous and agitated. Even his face had a tension that we had ever seen. It is true that the south wind will greatly influenced the mood. But it went further.
His eyes lost their focus away from your pedaling cadence as naturally drove, the conversation short, terse, strange openness. The miles passed in late position until he left to follow the trail of the group, when it decided, without a word, take an alternative route, a sudden twist. And suddenly alone, strange and lonely silence. He looked up to infinity without any wheel to prevent him from seeing the horizon line. Decided to uproot the computer back, threw his helmet to the shoulder and missed the time, time, space and for a second he thought he could move forward infinitely.

A snack time Sunday, after a frugal breakfast, headed out of town, riding on the first crackle of fallen leaves covering the road. Noon passed, but the autumn sun lengthened the shadows, inviting to laziness.

He would come and sweat and a little tired after fighting with the rock in a hill not far away and together they would conduct a few kilometers to a nearby diner where they were waiting for caps patatas bravas, fried calamari and marinated pork loin that would water contemplate a beer while autumn over the timid rays of sun through the trees stripped of their leaves.

No longer disputed increases at the end of exits, no longer used to talk with so much interest about anything. She was absent because his mind was not already with the grupete, but that was with her, Rachel.

She loved the bike, but not much used to go out with her because her noviete was no athlete and neither were her friends. And that was precisely what attracted him to the composure of his love, his passion for cycling.
