My First Ride

[BikeMomma]

Oh gawd yea! All the time, constantly. I'd go crazy without my bike.

Until I started riding again, I felt like I was melting away into nothingness, always doing for others but never for myself. Finally I got really tired of being taken for granted by everyone in my household and just decided to start riding again, whenever and wherever (lunchtime, trainer rides at home, early morning on the weekends, etc etc). That was a couple years ago. Now this year, I've started racing again like I used to as a teen and I'm lovin' it. It also gives my three kids an example of how much work, dedication, and perseverance it takes to realize your dreams and KEEP AT IT, no matter how much the odds are stacked against you. I actually think that philosophy is catching on to my almost 9-year-old, who is a gifted basketball player already at this young age.

Short answer -- yep, Diggles, I'm completely in understanding with how you're feeling.

Keep your chin up and the feet on the pedals....congrats on the run!!
