The Day’s Final Descent

The Day’s Final Descent

Wednesday, November 30, 2022

Heart beating, breath short, 

We begin the final descent

Check gears, adjust position, 

It’s time, we accelerate

The effort we made to get this far,

Our lungs feel close to burst

Check lines, check hands, check those around us

We enter our own universe

This moment in time, our senses ablaze, 

Breathe deep, feel the road’s harsh touch

A shudder, a jolt, brave souls my dear friends, 

keep faith we love this so much.

Faster, come on, get lower, get lower

Neck straining, we feel so alive

Sweeping bends, first left, then right, keep it tight, we arrive

Hands loose, pedal up, knee out, find the apex, 

It’s essential to keep to the form

Finally we slow, we grin, it’s over for now, sit up, catch you breath, pedal,

It’s time to go back to the norm.
