Life Crossings

Making your way at Life’s Crossings.

My highlight of this HOT day?
Definitely was pedaling over Hudson River,
On Cuomo Bridge, for pedestrians & bicycles.
Three & half miles of special lanes.

Thrill of a Gentle Ride

A Rail Trail is wonderful!

Harlem Valley Rail Trail—
Early in today’s ride.
Twenty-four miles of flat, calm riding.
THE BEST!

Remaining miles into lunch stop
Had moderate hills.
The kind that seem worth
Pedaling up, for coasting down.

Grateful On a Challenging Day

What worked well today for you?

Wise women have taught me:
Notice what went well.
Gratitude such a powerful
Magnet for more.

What worked well:

Want To Quit? Connect!

“Aunt Lin, you’ll have hills on your ride,”
Niece Elizabeth said in an email,
About two months ago.

Hills-schmills, I thought.
I can pedal up hills.

What’s Something Lovely You Noticed?

For a couple of months,
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…

What Task Seemed Too Big?

Two 62-mile ride days this week!
Whew! Made me tired & I did it.

At about 45 miles,
I started thinking,

Where Did You Get Help This Week?

You know that I think
Asking for Help is
BIG and BRAVE…

What “Maybe-I-Could” Thought is at the Edge of Your Mind?

​My extending training rides are
Major focus these days.
Satisfaction of daily gain,
Makes hard work okay for now.

How Are You Cheering?

​You know those long, steep hills?
In life, or on a bicycle?
They can be Tough!

Did Things Show Up In a Different Way?

Six weeks from June 20 until Empire State Bike Tour.

Disappointment was my take—
Not getting to meet on Root River Trail,
For bike ride with son & young boys,
Plus, picnic in a park.
Seemed like loss.

Grateful For Skilled Action

Seven weeks from June 13 until start of Empire State Ride.

Does it fit to be a
Biking web post?
Gratitude?

Wind — Help or Hinder?

Eight weeks from June 5 until start of Empire State Ride.

Another day of big wind & high temps,
Requiring my careful time-plan to ride bike.
That is, for my optional bike rides.
