Everything is "just" fine

Fungus, Pitch Hill, Surrey, Today

Hi to all & everyone in Blogland. Today was a better than normal day today. It was rather quite nice. Nothing much different from other days really, except for a complete lack of other people. I think that is what i need when i am feeling pissed off and angry. People make me mad usually, so i have to take away the '"people" for a day and i am much better for it. Today i had (needed) the smallest amount of contact possible with my fellow humans. I spoke to two people today, a chap who sold me some petrol and a fellow mountain biker. I suppose i could stay indoors all day, but that wouldn't do would it now. I need to get out in the trees and dirt.
I had a good ride too. I took several photos of me and my bike 'Dessert Storm', but thought maybe you'd had enough of them for a while;) I took this picture of some sort of fungus. I don't know why, i just like the look of it. There is some pretty cool singletrack on Pitch Hill. At the top of one particularly bumpy and rooty section, i nearly came off! I stopped just before to look at the route i would take and just then i nearly didn't do it. I lowered my saddle a bit to make more room whilst leaning back on the descent and went for it. I seemed to gather speed much faster than i anticipated, although i had my disc breaks on full whack! I have no idea how my feet stayed on them there pedals! They did, for which i am eternally greatful;) I raised my saddle back up and off i went to find the bottom. After descending a few hundred more yards, i came to the bottom section. I new straight away i wouldn't be doing that! I looked at it for a few seconds and soon jumped off! I had to almost climb down with my bike to the bottom. I'm not worried about missing out though. Having had a life time of Haemophilia, i certainly know my limits. My arm hurts & my ankles ache, but hey! Thats cool;)
Talking of Haemophilia, there is a movie called "Factor 8" The Arkansas Prison Blood Scandal. It is showing in London on Friday and was thinking of going to see it. I know a few more Haemophiliacs are going to the screening, who also have HIV & Hep C. I may or may not go. It depends how i am feeling. I know what it is about. It is where i got my viruses from. I think i may just prefer to wait and watch it at home on my own. You may want to check out the movies website in my links.
