Why I Ride

Why I Ride -
The League of American Bicyclists is doing a series of blog posts from people about why they ride so I thought I would do my own.

I started riding as a way to have some alone time and while I still do enjoy the me-time now I enjoy riding with groups and the wonderful friends I have made through riding.

I ride as a way of healing my spirit...I have suffered from depression for many years but once I am on the bike it all disappears.

I ride because I can.  When I started riding I could barely ride 5 miles and now I feel like the sky's the limit.  I choose to ride places I can and when I am running errands about town.

Most of all I ride so I can be the me I have always wanted to be.
