I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to Auntly H for spearheading this, and for getting me back on my bike after 10+ years. I have had so much fun riding so far, and am really looking forward to the ride tomorrow. But the riding does not stop tomorrow, and for that I owe Auntly H much more.
I have to admit that I am feeling a lot of emotions tonight. I’m a bit anxious and nervous. I am excited and tired. I am full of thanks and appreciation. I need to go to sleep and rest up for an early departure tomorrow.
I have a lot I want to talk about regarding this ride, but I just don’t have the time I need tonight. I will be writing in my head as I’m pedaling around 28 miles of the metro area, and promise to write it all down “quick fast in a hurry” once I can comfortably sit down again…
Seriously though – you see all the “X’s” in that jersey size? Still doesn’t fit. That, my friends, is a(nother) sign that things need to change for me. I’m going to bike my way into a comfortable fit for next year’s ride.
Good for you Scott. I just picked up my 3rd jersey yesterday, for the ride on saturday.
It is every year on my birthday (weekend) and I never go for a ride! Maybe I’ll ride with you next year. My bike has been stolen thrice so I don’t have one except a stationary one, but y’know…one step at a time!
Can’t wait to hear about it!
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger! And, I see that you posted 28 miles into the DD Challenge (thank you!) so I am hoping that it has made you stonger!
Since the post for 28 miles was there, I can only assume that it didn’t kill you… I really hope that’s a good assumption 🙂
no, the fact that you’re wearing a biking jersey is a sign things ARE changing for you. keep it up!
