Folks,
We are on the out of the long nights - hope springs eternal. I’ve yet to see an Easter egg, but it won’t be long.
Chasing The Sun is a lovely film if you like bikes, long days, and giving yourself the time to do something just because. “I wonder how far I can go on my bike in a day?” wondered Olly Moore, the founder of the Chasing The Sun Race. Aside from a feel-good factor, and lots of stories about how people use bikes in their everyday lives, there is something else about this film that I love.
Yes, Olly is curious, and idealist, but more than that he was chasing the sun whether you liked it or not. In the third year of trying to get from one end of the country to the other, no one went with Olly. Not one of his mates, was interested, bothered, not one bit.
Fast forward a few years and now hundreds, if not thousands, of people take part in Chasing the Sun events throughout the UK, Italy, and Ireland. The event raises a stack of money for charity, people push themselves further than they have gone before, and they do it with people they have only just met.
Olly Moore is my hero - go chase the sun this year. You might not catch it, but who gives a shit - it’s yours to chase.
Be good,
Simon
