I should trust that if anything feels that horribly off, it is probably not me - it's the bike! Instead I was thinking I was suddenly way out of shape

(Not that there isn't room for improvement!)
I seriously need to get with my bike mechanics knowledge.



Most of us have been there in some capacity or another--even with bike mechanics knowledge. My husband maintains a fleet of 12 bikes in our house, but that doesn't mean he and I haven't had "duh" moments.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
