Popular Post MoseySusan Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 17, 2021 I didn’t ride this week, and by Thursday I was kind of lost. Just a 12 mile ride this morning and I’ve got a vision for finishing up the school year. I can see how important my commute is to the work I do. 13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted April 17, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2021 It is all very inertial. I have been oot of the habit of riding, so my desire to ride is low. I used to be like srv, where if you messed with my rides you’d see a man get mean. However, once I do ride I get back into it and want to do more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother says that when he retires he's going to hire someone to maintain his yard. Considering finding someone to mow a 100' x 60' property with a house in the middle for less that $40 is rare, I told him the 1/2-3/4 hour of exercise is lucrative as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biking is a form of meditation and all things come together when we are out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear-headed and capable of multi-tasking after riding to work. And the words flow. Friday morning I kept saying the wrong word or couldn’t come up with the word I meant. My brain needs a bike ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted April 18, 2021 Share #10 Posted April 18, 2021 I know exactly what you are saying RS. It has been 8 years last week since I last drove my car to work. The bike rides are my time to think things through and to process what is/has been taking place. A couple years ago when I broke my bike frame beyond repair with one daughter just moving out, one daughter planning a wedding and a son still in University, I was hesitant to replace the bike because we needed the money for other things. My wife told me to stop being an idiot and go get the bike. She said I needed to leave my work stress on the road and not bring it home. Plus, I am a little lazy and once I get home from work and make supper and have a coffee, the last thing I want to do is go work out. This way it is forced physical activity. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
