Gears and Such

Sometimes when I’m out on the bike trail, I am moved to slow down and pay attention to what I generally speed by. This is what I hear when I do.

Gear Down and Enjoy the Ride!

This was a good week. I hit some speed goals. Broke through a weight plateau. Tried some different meal ideas. But today’s ride was an awakening. It was very windy! And cold. The wind made the whole ride feel like hills. But here’s what I learned. Sometimes you gotta gear down and just enjoy the ride. This really is a beautiful trail. But usually I’m speeding through so fast trying to hit a goal that I don’t even see the beauty. Today I decided to slow down and even stop here and there. Life is like that. It’s a continuum of hills and valleys with flat roads in between. When besieged by gusty winds and hills, maybe we just need to gear down and enjoy the ride.
