Namaste!~
Welcome to Soulcycler the home of Rick Gunn, writer, photographer, adventurer, speaker, human being. Because my life has expanded in so many ways after returning from my recent 3-year, 25,811-mile bicycle journey around the planet, I felt the strong need to build a website that reflects that expansion.
Beside all the classic photo galleries, round-the-world bicycle tour journals and photos, I'm expanding the new site to include information about my new 90-minute multi-media presentation "Soulcycler." This will include video clips from recent shows, interviews, information on booking, as well as upcoming show dates. Other new things on the site will include a cycling page, cycling-links, gear info, world-cycling route info, maps, workshops, upcoming tours, and cycling friends on the road. Last but not least will be "Rick's World." a series of the latest news, travel and writing adventures, photos, rants, observations, and other madness from cycling's foremost cerebral wasteland.
enjoy~!

The Giving in Nepal
I had to go.
I mean I really had to go.
Rattling my way through the jungly-darkness, I was smack-dab in the middle of a 17-hour bus ride when my bladder issued its final warning.
Stepping once again onto the feet of my fellow passengers, I approached the driver.
For the third time he'd denied my plea. I returned to my seat. A doozy of a pick, perched right over the wheel-well. There, atop a skin of disingenuous Naugahyde, I attempted to avert my attention by visualizing all things dry; deserts, cotton balls, Saltines, Al Gore. All to no avail. Meanwhile, the dilapidated bus shook and lurched - intermittently bouncing my head off the ceiling like an Olympic volleyball.
I was going to burst.
I snuck to the back seat, where within the
