hopefully it is permanent insanity
5 years ago I was a bona fide out of shape, overweight slug.
I started walking, then running, then skiing THEN THE BEST! CYCLING
I loved riding my bike when I was a kid - just for the sheer pleasure of riding
Today I love riding my bike - just for the sheer pleasure of riding
I started riding more a year ago July, logged 2049 miles this year, completed 434 mile bike tour and did my first century. I have 2 bikes in the stable but am toying w/ the idea of pulling my old CCM 10 speed out of the barn and cranking her up again (that is if she is still in the barn I haven't checked for a few years - like 20)
I turn 50 in 50 days. My goal for next year? a triathlon
Am I insane - I hope so
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
