Great wisdom. I am going to print that up and keep it in my "Foundations of Nursing" book, which also I've written out "Adapt, Migrate, or Die". Lately, while on break I've been begging to NOT go back to school and just be able to do nothing but ride. But, that is selfish and not an option. I've got a calling from God to take care of the sick. Cycling is what I do to purge the horrors of what I see in the Alzheimer's ward or on oncology.

You know, for years I rode my bike everywhere, and dreamed my bike was a horse. Then when I got a real horse (a gorgeous inky black Arabian) I just never was happy. I remember one memorable ride when I rode my horse in a state park and Ben followed behind on his mountain bike and I was so jealous! For me, cycling is just plain fun. At our LBS the other day Ben was looking at a trainer and I said, "I don't think so! Do you want to take all the fun out of cycling! I can use our never used eliptical trainer if I want to feel like a rat on a wheel, but cycling is sacred and will never be relegated to 'stationery' movement!"

Oh, and will someone please tell my how to pronounce Bontrager?
