Every road begins with a dream, and a question, just before the matters of the direction

Two days of dying

On September 4-5, I'm going to die many times. Me and my amateur team will cycle round the Lake Balaton in these two days. On the first day from Siófok (pronounced: Sheeohfuck) to Badacsonytomaj (Badachonjtohmuy) and the second day we are going to finish the least part of the circle.
I'm going to break my teammates leg, of course if the can beat me on the hills, and on the second day, I would make a fascinating sprint, 'cause, my girlfriend's birthday is on that day, so I have to arrive back home, till the celebration starts.

Last, but not least I have some good news. In three weeks I lost 3.5 kgs of fat! I'm going to fucking kill those fat cells!:D

I really got it

That's my new ones. Chain Elite. One of them is 268 gramms, just 18 gr lighter, than the carbon based type (which was 145 €). And I think I could make a really good deal, with just 60 € for them!

Of course I bought the pedals too, just the basic Shimano M-520 ones.

The feeling of riding with them is much better than with normal pedals, but I think I won't be able to avoid some falls, because it is hard to release immediately. Anyways, how about go with the flow today, and does not care about any complicated probelms? Let's rock'n'ride!

I will have it...

In the 2010 spring season I would like to care about nothing but my new bike and my final exam at the Uni. I am saving my money for a brand new cycle, for example a Merida Road Race 904 could be the best for me, it has a full Shimano 105 set and carbon fork (whole bike is just 9,1 kg), aaaah I'll love it...

















Before I start to think on my future bike expenditures, I need to save money for a pair of SPD pedal and SPD shoes, and this should be realized next week, because I have to practice for the round tour of Lake Balaton in September...

The beginning

I have to tell you that I'm so glad now starting this awesome designed (special thanks to Dante Araujo) and prepared site for my readers (if any now). In the other hand I have to start my river of toughts with some statements.

I live in Hungary now, and you can ask why am I writing my blog in English. It's a complex phenomena and I cannot exactly find any reasons for it, I can just guess. It can be caused by my antipaticity of my country's society. Of course, there are a lot of exeptions (friends, etc.), but in general I think I can't easily fit into this cultural environment. Secondly I have some foreigner friends, who might read The Road. Of course I don't want to seem like a stuck-up person, who has a hungarian mother tounge, and for some kind of fashion started bloggin' English, NOT! Of course you can comment either languages :)

You might be curious (if not, just skip this part), why is the blog's title: The Road? I have a main purpose in my life (which every normal person generally has): to be healthy and successful in my life. I think this could be a hard challenge for me, because I must fight with my own dispersed personality and stay on my bike on The Road. Secondly, I have a plan. I would like to live in somewhere else, you know, start a new life in an other country (long road to get there). I did this twice in my life, but after several months I got back to lousy Hungary (almost because my scholarship had been ended). And last but not least, I had a dream last month (when all these changing toughts had emerged and strenghtened in me), the whole story of it was not interesting, but the last moment of my own "night movie" was a question, asked by a godlike voice from the endless nowhere (I'm not religious): "What do you want to be? The cyclist, the bikecycle or the road?" and I got up with kept saying the answer: the road. I know it is a fucked up, and slippy-romantic story, but I can straightly feel that it has a saying, a real prophecy for me (sure it's not from some God, and I was't drunk:).

So we are here, the beginning of a road, I hope you and me will enjoy it, whatever (shit) happens...
