It’s the Little Things

It’s the little things that make life so magical.  Three examples from Tuesday’s ride.

First, the sunrise.  Waking at 6am to prepare for an 8:30am ride-time, by 7:15am the sky was drenched in a luscious coating of oranges, reds, yellows, blues, purples and pinks.  Truly, I stood there in awe.

These statistics have been compiled by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH, NIH, US Department of Health and Human Services) in USA, almost 30 million people are affected by the condition, but some doctors estimate discount viagra sales that about half of men aged 40 to 70 have frequent problems achieving or maintaining an erection. Research has deeprootsmag.org cialis generic no prescription proven that ashwagandha enhances the tasks of the reproductive system and thus it allows men to engage in sexual activity when they choose to during this period of time rather than planning a sexual adventure for a particular moment in time simply because they took a pill Generic Zenegra.

Second, the bailing wire.  Near the half-way point of Tuesday’s ride in the the State Park, a rock bounced up, hitting and breaking a spoke on Isabelle’s rear wheel.  While I do carry extra spokes and a teflon spoke in my bag, Rick took one look at it and inquired if I had any wire.  “Yup, Texas bailing wire.”  Within three minutes, Rick had bent both spoke ends and wrapped the bailing wire between the two.  Twisting it tight, I then finished the job with my spoke-key and we were back on the trail.  Although the rear wheel did feel rather soft and loose on fast, rocky descents, Rick’s repair job held fast for the second half of yesterday’s 59 mile Epic Loop.

Third, the achievement.  Hitting the trail an hour and forty-five minutes before the four of us boys, Ali and Kt rode the full 95km Epic Loop together.  Finishing in 9hrs 20mins, this was the first time either had completed the Epic in one day.  Tired, sweaty, hungry yet beaming with elation, they proved all you need to achieve your goals is the willingness to try.  Congratulations Ali and Kt; you are an inspiration!!
