On Saturday, a small contingent set forth to practice riding on the open road.
Meeting deep in the SE FOPO neighborhood at the Atomic Ranch, athletes practiced bench press and lat pulls while improving their winter clothing outfit.
Upon the call to "roll out!" the intrepid cyclists proceeded commuting to Mt. Scott Community Center where art awaited. (see why here)
Veteran cyclist Mikaya Richey led us on the bikes, and in the gallery. Mikaya is a
student of art and our Docent for the day.
But to train, you must train in good times and bad times. You must train properly, but in that journey, most train improperly once and a while. Beginners might train wrong until they get it right. A good coach enables the transition.
To grow and learn without injury is a blessing to give thanks for. Grace for yourself to make mistakes, leads to benevolence toward others when they are in their process to growth as well. Building a team gets easier when everyone enjoys the process.If we work together as a small group, we become a team. In cycling, individuals use leg speed and power to participate. They get into groups and use the draft. We train in groups on the open road to simulate the racing challenges, like weather, and terrain, and EACH OTHER.
