Yesterday, after I dropped my kids off at school,

Yesterday, after I dropped my kids off at school, I laced my shoes, buckled my helmet chin strap, and headed out for a day-long ride. While my kids settled into their school work, ate lunch, and ran around outside, I pedaled my heart out.

The air was brisk, and the fall colors were jaw-dropping. During the start of the ride, I felt relief and peace, grateful to be VERY alone with thoughts, and poetry, and dreams, and fears, and existential questions flowing through my head. My breath my metronome. The jostling of my bike chain as white noise. I felt like I could ride to the ends of the earth.

But, over the course of a 50-mile single-track ride with nearly 7,000 feet of climbing, mental moods are shifty. As the day went on, I felt moments of power and freedom, quickly followed by gritting teeth and struggle. The ride seemed to fly by, except in the moments the climbs seemed like they would last forever. It is amazing the scope of emotions one can feel on a bike for a day.

I finished my ride, got my kids home from school, and promptly started breaking up arguments, cleaning up the house, and digging through the fridge to figure out what the hell we were going have for dinner. And then later that evening, the news of the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a relentless champion of not just women’s rights but for human rights, swept through the nation. It took T minus 30 seconds to be snapped right off the quiet of the trails into the tumult of daily life.

But, this is why I ride - it reminds me of the sacredness of the human experience. Spinning those pedals represents the daily grind, and the long, hard ride reminds me I can hold it all - the big and small emotions, the struggle, the joy, the awe, the pain, the optimism, and utter despair. Riding reminds me of the capacity of the human spirit.

Why do YOU ride?

Pedal Power,
