Apparently you just keep peddling

  Maybe our journey IS like riding a bicycle.Once you do it, you remember the  "how to" the next time so reach your destination you just keep peddling.

    I rode my bike to coffee on Saturday and at 6 miles each way, it was a good ride to start the day. I had arranged to ride with my brother around his lake which is 12.2 miles long and mostly flat. I figured I could do that.....Instead he called on Saturday afternoon and offered an alternative: the St Paul Classic bike ride. There were several options starting at 7.6 miles. I agreed to go. When I got there he said we should do the full 30 mile course. I went along figuring my sister lived very close to the half way point and I "had options."
  I ended up making the FULL 30 miles by just having kept peddling. I am going to try and apply that to my last (or next) 30 pound weight loss goal.  I really struggled on the hills and figure less weight to carry up the hill just makes it that more do-able.....

  Two side notes. My brother says it is easier to lose two-five pounds on my body than doing it by buying a lighter bike.

  I was at the bike store in anticipation of this trip. When I was making my purchase a person asked "are you Paul?" He recognized my voice, had not recognized me as me standing next to him. Woohoo!!

  

This is awesome Paul.....30 miles, WOW....WTG.....

Good for you, Paul, that is fantastic.  Did you like that St. Paul Classic?  I looked at doing it, it sounded like fun.  Ended up running instead, but I liked the fact that you had support the whole way, and the roads were blocked for traffic.

 OK people, I do like my motorcycle more because I can see more-faster. but I do have to remind myself it is the journey, not the speed that brings us to our destination.

 "is the journey, not the speed that brings us to our destination."

Paul.
that pretty much sum it up,I totally agree with you.
