What riding means to me........
Way to go, Peep! You are lookin' strong!
What has cycling done for me? Oh my, it's so much a part of my life that I can't even imagine life without it.
It has kept me sane through all of life's up and down for the past 15 years.
It has kept me fit and looking younger than I would have thought possible.
I believe I can do WHATEVER needs to be done because I can:
Ride 200 miles in a day
Ride up a 24% grade
Ride when I am sick or hungover
Ride alone
Ride with friends
Ride the roads
Ride the dirt
Survive crashes and broken bones
Race and win
Race and finish waaaay back in the pack and still be happy!
I could go on and on. Those of you new to cycling, hang in there! Keep riding. The experiences you will have and the happiness it can bring you are worth the struggles to begin and continue on.
I wish you all the Joy of cycling!
Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." Captain Jean Luc Picard
