I did it. I got back on my bike.
Every spring I feel like the effort I need to put in to get into 260km biking shape is a weight on my back and I struggle to get started, to dust off my bike and suffer as an out of shape rider. This year I managed to book time in the family calendar on a 25mm rain day here in Vancouver and I was NOT looking forward to it. As I grumpily pulled out my "waterproof" shoe covers I knew I needed an attitude shift.
Could I be grateful for getting on my bike today?
Remembering why I was getting on my bike - to ride for those who could not, and for those who have lost so much more than I can imagine - gratitude was suddenly easy. Getting on my bike was suddenly easy.
I am grateful for the opportunity to ride in support of:
- The Radziminski family and the memory of their 6 year old daughter Emma
- The Laws family and the memory of their mother Elisa
- My dad Chris who beat prostate cancer
- My uncle Tom who is battling abdominal cancer
- The memory of Cliff Wildgoose
- The couple in the ER who tried to move out of the oncology ward but had to come back because the wife couldn't support her husband at home
- The unknown person whose life is altered by research breakthrough from BC Cancer
