Missing the Rally

It's weird, after the bike Rally, many of us had some post-rally blues. It's very difficult to come out of an event like this without some form of withdrawal afterwards. After the first week back into the real world, many of those feelings got swept aside due to the regular daily grind, and the Rally quickly faded into my pile of good memories.

Knowing that those initial feelings subsided I can't help but wonder why now, nearly two months after the Rally, I suddenly miss it so much. I noticed this feeling today as I was driving my usual commute home after work. Maybe it was due to sitting in what's probably the most frustrating traffic in the city that my thoughts drifted to getting on a bike and riding out of the city.

With 313 days to go until next year's Rally, is it too early to start counting?
