Make the Commitment | Yes I Think I Can

New Goal Set

Biking this autumn season shift, prompts my setting Second-Half Bike-Season Mileage goal:
One thousand by October 15.

Best Bike Time

Heat can sap energy & resolve. I have to get out in early cool-of-day. Otherwise, I’m melted into puddle of stultified immobility. Ugh.

Hard Decision

I’ve withdrawn from East Coast bike trip, planned for this Fall. Oh, So Hard! Riding that side of U.S.has been on my dream list for a long time.

Off-Cycling Season

I choose to only bike seasonally—
Still, off-cycling season is hard.
What’s this time of year like for you?

Half-Way Point

Today’s ride crossed Missouri River.
Approaching one of tributary valleys, Swooping, 8% grade downhill. Fast downhill NOT my favorite. Descended at record SLOW speed. Hooray for excellent disc brakes.

Stuff of Dreams

Saying “yes” to your dreams
Taking the steps, actually doing it.
Sorts what you think you want
From what you REALLY want.
