Leaving LA

The Epicurean Cyclist blog. A big fan of the S24O (sub-twenty-four-hour-cycling-adventures and weekend tours), his September 3 entry includes the following video, a video of a recent weekend escape from L.A., using public transport and, of course, bicycles.

The road not taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost (1874–1963)

My favourite thing

My favourite thing is to go where I've never been. I am home planning my next adventure.
