It’s Cycling Season

Let’s Ride

After a twenty-one-mile ride filled with steep inclines, sunshine, and energy chews, I reached the top of this month’s “Everest.”

This month, I aimed to start the cycling season by conquering the steepest street in my neighborhood.

I wanted to give up so badly with every spin. I kept pushing my feet into the pedals, and I made it.

I’m up against quite a few life challenges lately and accomplishing vertical feats on the saddle prepares me for whatever else is coming down the pipeline, i.e., a child support hearing, my kid’s identity crisis, or how I’m going to pay next month’s rent on a musician’s income.

But I digress.

At the top of the hill, I learned I had to keep pushing because the sweetness is always on the decline.

Let’s ride!
