It’s a big moment | It’s getting light on my commute

It’s been a wet, dark, cold and windy winter. There is one BIG announcement to make. This morning i saw the first light on my morning commute. What a relief that was. Actually quite emotional i must say 🙂

Who the heck is Barry? I am a ex- elite triathlete and started riding in 1984. In real life I am a chiropractor.
This channel is about cycling and health. I also build my own bikes which can be a risky business as actually i am a chiropractor.
Born and bread in South Africa, riding my bike in The Netherlands is one journey of discovery as it’s so beautiful. I race mountain bike marathons and will soon be doing my first gravel race.
I raced as a triathlete in South Africa and the United States of America and was on the South African Triathlon Invitation Team 1989.
Currently i am racing the Sforz MTB Cup in the Netherlands and Germany. I finished in 4th place in my age-group in 2017 and 2018 – 50+
Thank you for watching my channel.
Cheers

I am not sure if you can hear me but it  is 06h50 but I have taken the summer route   which i only take when it’s light but that is  the reason why as it is getting light. This  

Is a BIG moment . Really getting light. For  you guys it might be dark but for me this is   magic. Super stoked about taking the summer route. First time this year. I’ve been looking forward to  

This for a long time. The second miracle is there  is no cloud in the sky. It was a ghastly grey,   wet, cold and dark winter. I believe i have  not seen the sun since October of 2023.
