#160 Three Weeks With the Fiido Titan

A few weeks ago I bought a new bike. The Fiido Titan Adventure Bike. And I had no idea how much it would change my mornings. Over the last three weeks I’ve found myself waking up before five, excited like…
Early rides, quiet roads, first light, coffee stops and small adventures before the rest of the world wakes up.

This morning started with no destination. Just a full battery on the bike. A camera clicked onto my camera bag… And enough coffee to convince myself I knew where I was going. I didn’t. About an hour later I found…

While riding from Kollenberg to Parkbos Millen and on toward Germany, the sun came up in full glory. A beautiful sunrise. I stopped, took a moment, and grabbed a few photos. Here’s one of them.

I tried a vertical panorama this time. Stacked 6 images vertically, and this is what came out of it. You won’t see all the details here because I had to resize the image, but on a big screen it really…

I’ve found riding MTB to be one of the best wake-me-up exercises there is. I hate going to the gym. Never liked the atmosphere. Always felt like I was missing something big… and yeah — fresh air. You just can’t…

Out mountain biking in Geleen. Perfect time to hit the trails. I’ve been neglecting it for a while, so it felt good to finally grab the bike and go for a ride.
