I HAD A PEACEFUL, EASY FEELIN'...
YOU KNOW WHAT'S REMARKABLE? Our hearts, and I'm not being touchyfeely here...
... our hearts are legit amazing.
This happened.
After riding at a good clip for 30 miles to meet the group, and then blasting another...
... 25 miles full gas.
We regrouped at the top of the final climb.
Filled up bottles, emptied bladders.
Dropped back down to sea level.
My heart, which had been pinned at 160+ bpm for nearly an hour...
... slowed right back down,
and I felt damn fine.
We spun along chatting, the Eagles softly playing in my mind.
I honestly felt like I could do it all again.
It was short lived,
when we hit the next bump in the road my legs...
... straight up scolded me.
But, that's our hearts.
These amazing muscles that let us do all kinds of fun stuff, like...
Ripping On RaceDay
or Group RideDay
or PR day.
Riding home along the coast, throngs of beachgoers where frantically trying to find parking spots close the sand.
Then I remembered the pic I saw yesterday of beachgoers from the 50s, lean and fit...
... I was glad so see 'em getting out today and enjoying the summer weather,
simultaneously hoping they'll do a little more running and swimming,
and a little less barbeque and chips...
... gotta care for our hearts,
and inspire others to care for theirs, as well.
Maybe not at the kooky levels we enjoy...
... or, maybe they'd like that peaceful,
easy feeling we get
after slaying it.
