Why I Tried Something I Wasn’t Sure I Could Do
Yesterday, I rode my mountain bike more than 35 miles in the New River Gorge. 35 miles. Ouch.
As you might imagine, I’m a bit sore, but in a good way.
I have been riding often, trying to get myself into better shape. As I barrel head-first into middle age, it has become glaringly apparent that I need to take a little better care of myself. Riding my bike is helping me do that.
My rides generally consist of anywhere from 7 to 14 miles. Some are hilly. Some are not. While the rides aren’t necessarily easy, they have all been very manageable.
So, you might be wondering, “why the hell did you decide to ride 35 miles?”.
Simple. I wasn’t sure if I could.
My inspiration to try, came from my oldest step-son Will. His story is worth telling.
Meet Will
Will is a sophomore at West Virginia University with aspirations of becoming a graphic designer. I first met him when he was 9.
Will was a bit shy when he was younger, something that folks that know him now may never believe. When his mother and I married, and we all moved into a new house, he moved to a new school.
He knew no one.
