Life Crossings
Making your way at Life’s Crossings.
My highlight of this HOT day?
Definitely was pedaling over Hudson River,
On Cuomo Bridge, for pedestrians & bicycles.
Three & half miles of special lanes.

Thrill of a Gentle Ride
A Rail Trail is wonderful!
Harlem Valley Rail Trail—
Early in today’s ride.
Twenty-four miles of flat, calm riding.

Want To Quit? Connect!
“Aunt Lin, you’ll have hills on your ride,”
Niece Elizabeth said in an email,
About two months ago.

What’s Something Lovely You Noticed?
For a couple of months,
My total focus — riding miles, gaining strength.
Good results, I am stronger.
Effort well-put.
Riding one day this week,
Passing corn field, I thought…

What Task Seemed Too Big?
Two 62-mile ride days this week!
Whew! Made me tired & I did it.
At about 45 miles,
I started thinking,
Where Did You Get Help This Week?
You know that I think
Asking for Help is
BIG and BRAVE…
What “Maybe-I-Could” Thought is at the Edge of Your Mind?
My extending training rides are
Major focus these days.
Satisfaction of daily gain,
Makes hard work okay for now.
How Are You Cheering?
You know those long, steep hills?
In life, or on a bicycle?
They can be Tough!
Did Things Show Up In a Different Way?
Six weeks from June 20 until Empire State Bike Tour.
Disappointment was my take—
Not getting to meet on Root River Trail,
For bike ride with son & young boys,
Plus, picnic in a park.
Seemed like loss.

Grateful For Skilled Action
Seven weeks from June 13 until start of Empire State Ride.
Does it fit to be a
Biking web post?
Gratitude?

Wind — Help or Hinder?
Eight weeks from June 5 until start of Empire State Ride.
Another day of big wind & high temps,
Requiring my careful time-plan to ride bike.
That is, for my optional bike rides.
