Just a Girl and a Bike

For most of my life I was the least athletic person in the world. I was terrified of group sports. I was absolutely uncomfortable with my physical being. At times I felt completely uneasy in my own skin. So many things made me anxious.
My bike changed my life. I never in a million years would have dreamed that I would be cycling up famous mountains belonging to the Tour de France and other pro races. I had no belief in my physical side, so how could I accomplish such physical feats?
My bike introduced me to my inner athlete. It opened up new worlds to me and helped me to feel free. Cycling up mountains is the hardest yet most rewarding experience I have ever had. I love climbing a mountain one pedal stroke at a time. I love the feeling of my physical, mental and spiritual beings melding into one. I love the feeling of reaching a peak. I love feeling so free.
My hope is that my words will reach out and infuse belief within you. Whatever it is that you think you can't do, you need to do it.
If I can do it, so can you!
