I love that!

I think to me, what makes me feel like I'm not a beginner cyclist is that I have an idea of where I need to improve my skills, and some of the steps I can take to improve. (I'm not talking about speed necessarily - not at all for myself - but form, pacing, handling, climbing, cornering, endurance, mechanical maintenance, all the skills that make up cycling.) Having enough knowledge and self-awareness to identify at least some of what I lack.

But I know I need to cultivate "Zen mind" throughout my life, and cycling is definitely a part of that.
