My sport for the last 15 years is cycling. It is a sport that suits me best. Started riding to lose excess weight. Lost 35 kg (77 lbs) in first 12 months. The lighter I got the better it felt to ride the bike. My first ride was 5 km, and my legs ached for three days. Now I regularly ride 400-500 km per week, and my legs still ache after a 100+ km hard ride, but I recover by next morning.
Ten years ago, I spoke to a friend about the idea of competing. I have never forgotten what he said: "Well, it is now time to stop pretending and start contending". What he said shifted a mind-set in me. Ever since then, my cycling has improved. H marked improvement occurred since mid 2019 when I decided to have a hero to follow and take lessons from in terms of courage, faith, resilience, obedience, going to any lengths, and truth. Yep, it is Jesus Christ.
I pray and meditate daily. Competitive cycling is now part of that practice. After every ride I am truly thankful for the fun and experience. All my cycling friends, except Christians, cannot believe how well I am riding. They all know that I give all credit to God, which makes the atheists wonder, for they cannot ignore the racing performance.
Anyway, are there any other cyclists on this forum?
If so, I would like to read your experiences about cycling.
