I'm blown over by the sweet responses! You guys are the best!
I just took another step and scheduled a coaching with a local cycling instructor who apparently teaches bike handling, group riding skills, and just general good form on the bike. Looks like my lesson will be on Monday!
Awesome!!
GREAT to see you deciding to choose to ignore the negative "I can't" thoughts - so much of what we achieve is decided by whats in our heads - its not all about the muscles.
It is about personal achievement and having fun achieving. Such a thrill. Well done
Congratulations on your achievements from another cyclist who isn't a natural athlete. It is a big deal and isn't it great to have this board to share your accomplishments with others!
Yay!
I'm clumsy. I'm not graceful. I'm slow. But I was lucky and had parents who encouraged me to find things I *can* do, so soccer, biking and swimming were encouraged. The biggest thing I learned out of that is to not listen to the "I can'ts". I can't run up a hill, but I sure as heck can walk up it. And if I keep going *splat* against it, eventually I get up it on a bike.
Excellent. As time goes by, your scary hills will get bigger!
As another "non-athlete" I totally feel your joy! Its amazing to set the goals, do the work, and blow past them!! WooooooooHooooooooooo:)
Thanks again, everyone... :)
