Wild cycling is a natural workout, a workout like the wild animals workout. Not just in the cardio and cycling/hiking, but in the lifting of the bike over farm gates, and the primal walking through unstandardized (wild) landscapes. This workout works out the mind as well as the body, for they are inseparable. This working out works out the toxins that have infected you down there in the city until you are pure. This purity comes from a 'pouring of the self back into its self and the untamed land'. It comes from the elements and from simply being out 'in the open' and 'in the air'. The universe and the wild itself is a 'pouring of oneness' where everything lives together in Life. When this oneness is no longer poured into Life but into a closet that stifles Life it is no longer the universe that is being poured but an intoxicant. One then becomes intoxicated with one's ego, instead of being amazed at one's universe.
