A long time ago, when David was teaching me how to mountain bike, one of the first things he said was "If you get a stick in your wheel stop right away.". To keep going might damage the wheel and then where would you be? Why, you'd have to walk out. Could be a long, long walk depending on how far you rode.
Last Spring, I was getting chemotherapy. Last Summer, I had the big, bilateral mastectomy surgery. I definitely had a 'stick in my wheel' and the woods rides were few and short. Most of the rides were on easy trails. Oh, they were fun alright. It's always just great to be in the woods. The rides were just not very 'epic' - as we like to call long, strenuous rides.
This year? No stick in the wheel!! Today, we went on the first of what I hope to be many beautiful, long, strenuous rides! Work I did over the winter at the gym seems to have paid off. I can tell I will be back to my normal very soon. Yay!
The photo is from today's ride. The dogwoods are blooming amid the new green.
