It’s that time of year again, time to make new year’s resolutions.
Of course, in doing so you’re basically admitting you’ve been doing it wrong so far.
But, “it’s never too late to make a change”, right? Right?!
Right…
If you feel that you need to make a change, by all means, do.
After all, “better late than never” counts too 😂
I’ve never been much of a resolutions man – I try to make the best of it as I go.
It’s a work in progress and I’m faltering – even miserably failing – at times.
Sometimes I have a goal, but it doesn’t always “work out as planned”.
Another great euphemism.
As to the current state of affairs in the world: things didn’t improve at all last year ☹️
However low the bar is, we humans generally seem capable of making things even worse.
I, you, we all seem to know better, so why is it that we can’t change things?
And where are the Vulcans when you need them?
Still, Paula and I were over the moon when we became grandparents this year.
Our granddaughter arrived two days late for my birthday, but Elise (Maya) stole our hearts immediately ❤️
The future for newborns and today’s (teenage) kids is uncertain at best, but let’s hope we can turn the tide and manage to not crash and burn the planet.
Anyway, my cycling hobby – more like a meth addiction, really – is also going to continue throughout 2025.
I don’t expect to be allowed to buy a new or trade in a new bike.
(No typo there 😂)
I got the Speed Concept last year and the Émonda July 2023.
The latter is the bike of choice for my next idiotic cycling adventure in Italy.
As to the Speed Concept, that might well be used during training rides in the south of my country.
The time trial I used as an excuse to buy it, is no longer on my calendar, but I should be able to get up most of the hills anywhere in my country.
Plus, I planned on not riding my backyard with it as much as I did with the SpeedMax, but it’s just too much fun to not do that…
So, I wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy 2025 – make the best of it, new year’s resolutions or not!
