Styx and Florentine.

Rest stop in the heart of the Styx River valley.

It's fair to say I've neglected this blog of late. Although I'm sentimental about it, I also have to acknowledge that I write for a living and some days the prospect of sitting down and crafting a few hundred words - even if it's about something I'm passionate about - seems too muc h like hard work.

On Sunday I started out on a post, remembering halfway through that a competition run by RidewithGPS was about to close. I wrote up my ride report for them instead. To my surprise I'm a finalist. If you'd like to read the story behind the photo above, and vote for my entry if you think it's worthy, have a look for Through the Heart of the Forest, via this link.  In the meantime I'll resolve to try harder to blog more, because it's much more fun than writing for money!
