Beautiful Ride.
The clock ticks. 11AM. As I reach for . long-sleeved blue nylon shirt . yellow fluorescent top . sports bra . padded cycling shorts, I think of the ride route I'll be taking ; should I take the one to downtown Stockholm or the hilly one to the big supermarket in Riksten? .I think to myself. After much thought, I decide to take the one down to the lake and countryside. I grab . Cateye Velo 5 bike computer . Everest cycling gloves . and as I head over to the kitchen for my water bottle, I remember that I left it in my locker at school. Not much of a deal. I put on my warm polyester jacket, take my keys in my pocket and head to the storage room. I get there, pump . Giant Avail 3 . wear my helmet and there exactly at 11:25AM, September 30, 2017, a journey starts on my bike, another journey on the bike.
With all honesty, it wasn't that easy to get myself out of bed early for a bike ride. Especially these days, the cold absorbs all my motivation. Yet, I went out there, and there I was, on my bike, pedaling and pedaling, and not regretting any second of it. This is a mistake I believe most people do, they think that because they are not motivated, their workout will not go well. It isn't like that for me, I picked cycling as a sport since it is what I enjoy doing, it's all about connecting with nature, well being, peace, calm, and that's what I'm all about. I started pedaling, and the longer I rode, the more I yearned for a longer ride.
I might as well share a glimpse of my ride . . .
