WARDING OFF THE DIGITAL DEMONS
SOME KOOK HONKED AT ME while I rode along the side of the road. Oh, wait, that wasn't just any kook, it was one of my kooks...
... and top riding pals.
I shot him a text.
Heading out for super easy gravel spin, wanna go?
Yes, be ready in 15.
We did our typical urban gravel...
- sidewalks
- gravel roads
- some singletrack
... and shot the shift.
Along with actually talking to a human for a couple of hours,
we were unplugged from all devices.
I realized how weird this was when I later went to Target to pick up an order.
Three people in line,
all riveted to their phones,
desperately searching for a dopamine hit.
The digital addiction was on full display.
Normally, I'd be right there with them.
Getting outside,
involving all our senses...
... reminds me of those vampire scenes when the sun is rising.
It keeps the digital demons at bay.
