缘起。。。The Beginning…

偶然间，话题落在一个蛮异想天开的点子上，两人谈得兴高采烈，骑着铁马驰骋苏格兰这片陌生土地的梦想，似乎一点儿都不遥远。

知易，行难。心中不免犹豫，信心偶尔动摇，两人开始策划。

"The wild idea to cycle around the unfamiliar land of Scotland sparkled when two enthusiastic young men were talking about their dreams. To them, however crazy the idea it seems, it would one day become real.

It is always easier said than done. At times, the heart hesitated, with shaken confidence. Nevertheless, they started planning for it."

连续几个星期，物色市集拍卖的二手铁马。粗枝大叶的两人，甚至把人家的铁马给弄坏了，换来一顿F***的臭骂，如此往来数次，竟然也和这位豪爽的大叔熟络起来了，率直的F***之物语，也不再觉得刺耳，反而有种说不出的亲切感。

阵容渐渐壮大，憨憨二人组新进了两位新成员，四人组最后又变成了六人组，队长连忙喊停，六位恰恰好，不然队长恐怕胜任不来。

有次还差点掉入偷车集团的陷阱，误购了贼赃。

好几次眼巴巴看着心仪的铁马被人捷足先登，唏嘘不已。

铁马加上林林种种的配件，六人的钱囊开始瘦身，万一功败垂成，就只能自嘲自个儿把钱丢进大海，覆水难收。

在不被看好的情况下，六人毅然朝向目标前进，其实心里也没啥把握，只有破釜沉舟的决心。管它的，盘算不了这么多，要么笑傲江湖，要么贻笑大方，反正青春是最大的本钱。

"For the consecutive few weeks, they searched for 2^nd-hand bikes. There was once they were so careless. In exchange to the damage done to a yet-to-be-sold-out bike, they were bombarded with initial-F’s vocabularies by the middle-aged owner. Strange it might sound, the owner became more and more friendly each time they visited the market. The initial-F’s words from his mouth had since then become less painful to the ears.

From a group of two, it grew to four, and then six. The captain had to shut the door closed to new members, for limited capability to manage an even bigger group.

There were once they almost being tricked by a bike-theft syndicate. For several times, they missed some great deals of bikes with tip-top conditions. How unfortunate.

Besides, all sorts of bike accessories made their wallets to shrink. All investments come with liability. They could only pray for the best. No one knows how things might turn out.

No matter how unfeasible it might seem, the group will march towards the dream, with strong determination. There would be only two outcomes – being laughed upon for harbouring an unrealistic goal, or being the last persons laughing at the end. But, who cares? Youth is itself a biggest asset – we dare to fail!"
