DAYDREAM

When I dream about the perfect day.

Finally having that HOME I always wanted ( A Mountainbiker´s HOME ) doesn`t really keep me from dreaming about that perfect day being on the road living that freedom that means so much to me.

It´s been biking that first got me into dreaming about it and it´s vanlife that first made these dreams come true.

Following these dreams over years just keeps me dreaming and longing for more.

What I dream of?

Sit down to find out.

Slow down and enjoy dreaming with me.

Chapter I: Morning

When you open your eyes in the morning and realize you´re not at home.

Not at home in the need to get up for work.

Not at home but sleeping in your van hearing the birds outside singing and trying to wake you up.

Wake you up to open the door and see the sun rising.

Wake you up to feel the warmth of that rising fire ball shining into your face.

Wake you up to welcome an amazing day ahead.

When you don´t forget about taking your time to stand still.

Stand still for a while to just be.

To be, feel and realize.

To realize that beautiful moment.

Realize that beautiful moment and be happy and thankful for.

When you´re making yourself coffee without any time limit.

Without anything else to do but patiently waiting for that black gold to be ready for yourself to enjoy.

Drinking it and really taking your time to taste it. To appreciate it. 

Silent.

Calm.

Peaceful.

A good morning.

A vanlife kinda morning.

A bikelife kinda morning.

Because the bikes are already waiting for the next chapter to come.

Chapter II: Ride

When you put your helmet on and hop on your bike.

When you pedal or hike to the top looking forward to the downhill.

Looking forward to open your brakes.

Looking forward to just let go.

When you ride that Singletrail you always wanted.

The one you daily dream of.

The one that gives you everything you are looking for when you think of.

That Singletrail of a lifetime.

The one you could ride every day without getting bored.

The one that puts a big smile on your face once your´re on it.

The one that makes you scream so loud while riding that you even hear your own echo giving you goose bumps.

A Singletrail in the middle of some beautiful and tight woods.

Beautiful and green.

Fresh green.

A fast one.

Fast and flowy.

So fast that you hear the wind in your ears and feel it blowing around your head.

So fast that you even feel the speed just by listening to your tires and hubs.

A Singletrail that makes you go faster because it´s so fun.

Makes you move.

Makes you move your bike aggressively through the tight trees.

Through that green-room all around you.

A Singletrail that makes you feel free.

Absolutely free.

And after you finished it, you´re still there in your head.

You´re smiling as you were still on it.

You´re thinking about nothing else but that.

Nothing else but: “I wanna do it again.”

Again and again and again.

Chapter III: Fire

Time to slow down.

Physically and mentally.

Collecting wood.

Making fire.

Nothing better to slow down than watching a fire burn.

Taking your time to really watch it in detail.

Watching it move, watching it dance.

Watching it change colours and feeling the heat it creates and delivers.

Pure nature.

Pure beauty.

“Fire carries me away like nothing else.

No better way to end a day.”

Chapter IV: Repeat

“Ride, eat, sleep, repeat.”

You know what I`m talking about?

There´s absolutely no reason not to repeat things that you loved doing.

Things that made you smile.

Made you feel good.

Made you scream, feel free, calm down, sleep well and wake up happy.

Let´s have another day like this.

Let´s have another DAYDREAM.

Dreams, dreams, dreams.

Just can´t stop dreaming.

Watch this space to find out where my dreams will take me this season.

To find out how it looks like “when dreams come true”.

Let´s make dreams come true.
