Life is better on a bike!
Thirty fourth consecutive day of riding. A short ride it was, just over 5 miles, through my neighborhood.
A pleasant ride on a beautiful morning.
Had I waited until the afternoon, or worse, tonight to ride, I’d still be trying to get dry and warm.
Love all the heavy rain now though!
#RideEveryDay
This graphic from Pinterest/Pro Bike Roma caught my eye this morning.
As someone participating in the #30daysofbiking challenge (all except for day 1, April 1st – because I forgot – April fool on me!) for another year, and understanding how it serves to kick into high gear my biking season, I can only imagine how much my fitness, well-being, biking prowess, etc., would improve if my “season†ran 365 days!
As I was setting my goals for 2015 late last year, I thought about committing to riding every day but wimped out. Even when just considering the times when I’m away, with no bike available, I knew it was highly unlikely I could ride every single day. I wish I’d said “so whatâ€. Even if I was successful only 90% or 75% of the time I would be way ahead of where I am now.
Which leads me to think, suppose I just continue my April #30daysofbiking challenge to May, and maybe June or God help me through December?! I know I wouldn’t ride every single day, things come up, but how about a year when I rode more days than not?
Sounds like a good year.
Ride Every Day.
I haven’t been around much lately. I’m still riding, just not writing or posting much here.
Although my love of biking hasn’t waned, my love of blogging has.
Blogging has often seemed too much like talking to myself and not enough like hanging out with other people who love cycling. For the Love of Bikes has never enjoyed a big readership but we did have loyal, regular readers. I would guess most have moved on. Hopefully not all – anyone there?
I plan to change that this year and we’re entering in to the prime time for bike riding so here I am: recommitting myself to riding and writing.
You can always find For the Love of Bikes on Facebook and Twitter.
I would love to live in an area with autumn color like this:
Looks like northeast Ohio
Instead, the fall color here usually amounts to this:
On the positive side, all leaves are nice to ride through, especially as they are falling. Doesn’t it make you feel great when you’re riding and leaves are falling all around you? Magical feeling, reminds me of riding as a kid – I love it!
Our leaves here are just starting to turn, although a few have changed color and fallen. I managed to find some to ride through this morning. Made me very happy… it’s the little things.
P.S. I wore my contacts!
