Thankful

My year started by mistake. I had no plans on racing my bike seriously, I was done with it but little did I know the bike was not done with me. if you know me I am an accident waiting to happen. My college running career was marred with injuries. Then cycling came my hobby & so did extremely high heart rates (highest ever 242) which left me with dizzy/fainting spills & in the hospital to many times. So I stopped riding had 2 beautiful, intelligent, & supper sassy daughters. When I thought about a comeback I was hit with some bad news, I had Melanoma! So, I became a hermit, staying away from the sun. Then Xterra came to Waco. I thought I could do that but my old running injuries came back, stress fractures, IT band & hip flexor issues plus, a broken toe from…

Some people head to the gym. Some people head to the park. Some people head for the open road. New year resolutions aren’t cliche, they are our free pass at a fresh start to do something positive with our life. Riding your bike has a lot of those positives. It can be social, it’s definitely fitness related and it’s also therapeutic for your mind as well.
In the past couple of years, there has been a great surge of cyclists in the Houston community. Thank social media for the infectious spread of meetups and bike crawls. Thank your local bike shops for their weekly ride initiatives. Last but not least, thank your local cycling advocation groups and city affiliates for making a lot…
