Change of pace

Sorry I'm stepping aside from my normal feminine jokes and bashing of you worms, but I got something to say. I was thinking about my life and how it is similar to most everyone elses. At least in the sense that we all tend to follow the same life pattern from childhood-adolesence-H.S/college-family-death. It's so easy to get caught in the same flow of those who have preceded us. I know for me my "Life Stage" was falling into place all on it's own. Don't miss understand me, I'm very happy and love my family deeply. But for me and my own innerpersonal feelings I woke up one day, saw the path I was on and decided to change it. I have tried before, but this time it was different. I made the decision to get in shape, lose some weight and hopefully make cycling a part of my life. Here I am now nine months later and feeling better each day. I accomplished those goals, and now I hope to ride a century. I wanted to say thanks to you guys for your friendship and support in cycling. Cycling has given us that X-factor again. The X-factor is easy when your young, we all naturally have things in common. We go to the same schools, play sports together, part-time jobs, live under the same roof, etc.. As the years pass graduation comes along, paths change and life takes over. It gets to where you only speak a couple times a year (if your lucky), maybe see friends and family every so often by way of a holiday, wedding, or even a funeral. Thanks to cycling that's changed for me. Cycling has brought a breath of fresh air into my life pattern. The future is truly never set, we alter it each day with our decisions. While I know I'm new to cycling, it has been good to me and my family. I thank them for their incredible support. I'm happy to be sharing the "Cycling Years" with you guys. OK, now spit a big lugie on the ground and forget all this girl talk. GET OUT AND RIDE.
