There is a price to pay for the liberty of taking out my bike [almost] every morning through my preferred trails.
That is eating alone after the kid and the wife has left for school, usually leftovers from yesterday's dinner, which was happily punctuated by a Persian dinner of Kebab and vegetarian samosa while watching Mr. Phogat transform her daughters Geeta and Babita into world class wrestlers in the Bollywood hit "Dangal", but not after going against the resistance of deeply-rooted traditions and beliefs, quelling a rebellion from Geeta and getting locked in a storeroom up by her coach during the final match of the Commonwealth Games.
In other words, Geeta who have been mostly trailing in the final round managed to defeat a superior but snobbish Australian opponent by a point to win the gold medal, and I got to take out my small city bike the next morning for hohum buffet breakfast at Finio's along Tomas Morato Avenue.
But there is a prize for the price, which is helping the wife cook our early morning breakfasts which made her very happy, and being able to watch La Vuelta Espana updates on cable TV every night which made me very happy too.
It was also the last Sunday of the 2017 Bowling Games which is a relief but also a prelude for a gruelling next 4 weeks of travelling.
