Post Biking Thoughts
After my bike ride yesterday, I was tired in body, but not in mind. I’ve been so cranked about this event, that the adreline rush wouldn’t easily dissipate. I thought I would fall asleep at 9:00 p.m. and wake about twelve hours later. That didn’t happen. I finally got to bed around midnight, and found my eyes opening this morning at my usual wake-up time (which is 6:30 a.m.) I must say that I am surprised by my body’s reaction. Here I went and abused it to no end yesterday, and today, it has bounced back and is asking for more. In fact, I felt so good today, that I not only lifted weights, but I took a one hour power walk around the harbor. (It was a gorgeous day, with plenty of sunshine and moderate temperatures.) I guess it just goes to show the miracle that the human machine genuinely is. The more you stress it, the stronger it becomes, and the more resilient to pain and illness it gets.
So, to all those who questioned my sanity and who told me that I would kill myself, all I can say is "Nyah, nyah, nyah." (Yes, it’s childish, but what the hell!)

Watch out..! Cycling can become addictive. I had one heck of a ride today.. despite one very major headwind. Good times… good times.
