下午2點30分從敦化南路出發, 今天的目的地是烏來! 其實在出發的時候, 遠遠的就可以看到新店方向已經開始烏雲密佈了, 但心裡想著, 反正未來要是打算要挑戰環島的話, 一定也會碰到下雨天, 於是心一橫, 踩著肯定的腳步就給他出發了. 只是沒想到, 在還沒到新店市公所就開始狂風暴雨了起來, 不過這樣的情況早在預期中, 所以又怎會阻擋我騎完全程的決心咧! 由於雨真的大到一個不行, 所以在新店市公所前等了幾分鐘, 就又出發了. 有趣的是, 當我騎到捷運碧潭站時, 雨又突然給他大了起來, 於是又給他等了5分鐘才再出發.
一路上不斷在對向碰到一些同好, 互相喊加油來打氣, 因為從新店到烏來的路程, 幾乎有70%都是爬坡, 對體力, 耐力與腳力都是蠻嚴酷的考驗. 而我雖連著幾個星期天都有在鍛鍊自己的腳力, 經常都去挑戰爬坡路段, 但到烏來的這一段真的是有點距離, 實際有多遠我是不知道啦! 這也是我為什麼開始考慮該去買一個里程紀錄器, 不只紀錄下每一週的每一段的里程數, 更可以紀錄下所累積的整個里程, 嗯! 真的該去買一個了.
在騎到中段時, 又突然給他來個狂風暴雨, 加上從新店進入烏來後的整段路程都沒有休息, 所以就在一戶賣茶的人家的停車棚下, 休息了10分鐘. 對了, 忘了說, 我穿的是便利商店買的20元小飛俠雨衣啦! 在休息了10分鐘後, 眼看著時間一分一秒的過去, 而雨看起來又沒有變小的跡象, 於是牙一咬就又給他出發上路了. 隨著布鞋開始滲水, 衣服, 短褲甚至連內褲也都溼透時, 突然覺得, 反正都溼透了, 就給他不停的騎下去囉! 那時心情反而更輕鬆, 也更愉快, 唯一只有擔心一點, 就是怕回家之後會感冒, 不過那時就告訴自己, 到烏來後, 一定要吃一支山豬香腸來補充體力, 跟喝一杯熱騰騰的薑湯讓身體暖和一點, 可能也因為衝著這股念頭, 沿路就一直沒有休息過, 直到烏來的纜車搭乘處.
1720, 抵達烏來! 休息片刻, 在瀑布前照了一張到此一遊的照片後, 如願買了一支山豬香腸補充體力, 但卻怎麼也找不到熱騰騰的薑湯, 拜託喔! 現在是6月好嗎, 賣薑湯給誰喝啊? 唉! 只好忍一忍, 那時就開始盤算要怎樣補補今天體力的透支了. 烏來回新店的路上, 大部分的路都已經變成是下坡了, 因為來的時候都是上坡(廢話!!), 只有一點點的路是爬坡而已, 所以回北宜路的時間幾乎是下午進烏來的不到1/3的時間, 正所謂先苦後甘啊! 工作, 人生不都是這樣嗎? 哇塞!! 騎車也可以看出人生大道理喔? 就像當初蔣介石看到魚兒逆水向上游的情景, 而奮發向上ㄝ! 但我可沒興趣作偉人咧!
其實在回程, 我心裡就一直在想, 今天一定要吃個好料來給他補一下, 不囉唆! 當然是去吃新店北宜路上的”一碗小羊肉”, 記得是北宜路上的喔! 千萬別跑錯, 也別記錯家, 因為一路上大概有5家賣羊肉的, 都是看一碗小羊肉生意好而再開出來的. 一碗小羊肉, 店很小, 人很多! 口味分成會辣的紅燒, 以及不會辣的清燉, 羊肉也不會太韌, 且清燉的竟然不會有羊騷味. 另外還有賣羊油麵線與一般的麻油麵線, 一碗好像都是20元. 至於紅燒羊肉一碗似乎是100, 清燉羊肉卻要130, 為什麼咧? 我個人是覺得因為要將羊肉處理到完全沒有騷味, 到可以作清燉的程度, 那想必是比紅燒要來得費工夫吧! 畢竟紅燒可以透過調味料, 中藥跟辣味來壓抑羊騷味. 一定要去吃喔! 清燉的湯超讚的!
祭祀完了五臟廟之後, 突然感覺還是少了這麼一味, 啊對了! 應該來碗豆花啦! 於是啟程離開新店, 往景美夜市那攤只賣豆花的攤子騎去. 很屌! 只賣豆花! 但我真得覺得那攤很好吃, 位置就在大馬路邊, 一家賣鹹水雞生意很好的隔壁(對不起, 我不記得路名是什麼了), 那家豆花攤生意也是很好, 記得一定也要去試試喔!
吃完了清燉羊肉, 麻油麵線, 好吃豆花, 終於是到了該回家的時候了, 看看時間已經是1930了. 回到家時, 發現濕答答的全身, 滲水的布鞋, 被噴的亂七八糟的雨衣, 濺滿爛泥雨水的小黑, 還有看到因為布鞋滲水退色而泛紅的白襪, 與泡水脫皮的腳拇指, 其實在回家的路上我就不禁開始思考, 我到底是算任性還是算毅力啊? Sigh! Sigh! What ever, just do it!!
你真是毅力過人呀

Hey Dude,
回覆刪除Are you serious on riding bycycle around Taiwan? Wow, what a great plan
you have. Maybe you can take train with your bike, then ride bike to visit
each city as well. How's that? ha ha ha...
Jasper

Bill

回覆刪除your life and chase your dream is a wonderful thing, so go for it. Why you
work do hard everyday? Just because you need to earn more money for your "
life " or " family ", so enjoy the money you earned. You are derserved it,
right?
Good luck for your plan!
Jasper Lin
Hi Dude,
回覆刪除Appreciate your encouragement. I will slow down my step and enjoy what I had already.
Then I will restart to earn money again after I charge myself. As you said that the
life and the family are all important than money, right?
These 2 years, I realized that money is not the most any more. I never ceased to chase
after my dream. However, the target was changed day by day, year by year in different
age in past. I have to say I gained something and lost something as well.
Anyway, I learned from before and will keep learning in the future. Please keep going
to remind me if I will on the wrong way. Thanks pal.
Regards,
Bill
Hey Dude,
回覆刪除Don't forget that you are the one who has most ambition in our busddies,
of course you are the most aggressive one. So you are also the one who
think too much on everything, ha ha ha..
Plans or goals changed are very often, you have different demands at each
age. no no, you still focus on the " tits" until now, right?
As I told you many times, the happiest thing after you achieving any goal
is " there is always someone you love sharing with you ". I know you can
understand what I mean, not push, okay.
Jasper Lin
好有趣喔~~
回覆刪除不過你的照片比例跑掉了啦~~
到烏來一定要泡腳
