Cold outside ? windy ?
Get on your bike and start riding !!
15 mph, fine, just to get to the beginning of the climb,
ok, you rode 15 miles so far,1 hour exactly, and you're exhausted,
this wind is worse than any uphill, and you have'nt even started to climb yet.Should you stop ? no , start to climb and see what happens.
10,20,30,50 minutes, gaining 1900ft.nice.heartbeat-180 bpm.Youre not going to die.And now, 2.5 miles of downhill, losing 700ft.You hate it.The wind is getting into every part of your body.Your nose is frozen.Your ears are numb.Funny tickles down your toes.
Uphill again.10,20,40 minutes, another 1400ft and yuppie yeah !!!
Youre at the top of the hill !!!
Look, the sky is becoming clear,all that awful gray is fading away.
You look down the valley, you can hardly see where you were 2 hours ago.... the scenery- awesome.Over the horizon a small ball of fire....the sun !!!Mercifully touching you with gentle warm rays,
defrosting your face,your nose,your ears...mmmm....sweet.You love it !!!
A biker, that's who you are....
A biker ,that's what you are !!!
