Day two of three weeks of ladies bike camp.
15 km round trip, wind in my hair, smile on my face;
SO. MANY. BUNNIES.

Cycling is pure joy when you can just ride and not worry about your safety.
Day three; we laughed, we cried, we were joyous, we were unapologetically silly. We shared or hopes and fears and struggles and pumped each other back up for the long day ahead.

Cycling is a balm for all things.
Sorry not sorry, be prepared for three weeks of sappy love notes to bicycles and group rides with old friends.
When I was 17, I had a devastating event in my life. It doesn& #39;t matter anymore, what happened, but it& #39;s the lowest I& #39;ve been.

A woman I knew causally invited me to go riding, knew something was off with me, showed up at my door four or five days a week all winter long to bike.
All winter long we pedalled our selves around the back roads, visiting friends w/ wood stoves to warm back up & have a cup of tea.

She got me set up with better gear, taught me how to mountain bike, quietly kept me from sinking into a deep depression I doubt I would have left.
It was maybe the happiest, best winter of my life in the end.

So when I say cycling saved my life, this isn& #39;t hyperbole, it& #39;s fact. Both the physical, meditivate act of cycling and the comradeship it builds. It saved me, fully and completely.

Fuck I love it so. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
Prince Edward County. They re did the surface of the rail trail at long last so now there& #39;s a basically flat, 40-50km path through all the towns connecting them together.

It& #39;s so great.
