When I was a kid growing up in Argentina, my dad would never stop the car on road trips, except for the occasional gas station. Always very efficient, wanting to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. One of my favorite day dreaming exercises while being bored in the back was choosing a road cutting the one we were going on and in that split second of looking into it, imagine what could be there, or how would it feel to place my body further down this road and experience the point of view from that place.
Over the years this idea of the “cutting road” stayed with me and it’s something I’ve finally put to practice while bike touring. I have a steady road to follow, but I’ll randomly choose a cutting road just to be there for a second and look back at the road I was riding on, sort of like a change in POV to see what happens, and what is there. This particular day, going on a long straight country road in Ontario, I decided to do it again.
I wonder if anybody likes to do this kind of thing as well.
