My total focus — riding miles, gaining strength.
Good results, I am stronger.
Effort well-put.
Riding one day this week,
Passing corn field, I thought…
Mine came from 13-year-old source.
“Seems big — but
Actually, just bunch of little things”.
Drumroll —Excitement!!!
I have signed up for a summer bike trip!

I’m slow and puffing.
Definitely harder than stationary bike simulation!
