Life Changing, Even Before We Start

I am planning to go on a bicycle ride across the country with the Fuller Center Bike Adventure.  Actually, I intend to cycle the entire Cross-Country Ride and then join the East Coast Ride in Savannah for two more weeks.  The ride begins on June 2, a mere two months away.  We are raising money for the Fuller Center for Housing, and we will be hosted by churches along the way.  Right now, there are twelve people signed up to ride all the way across the country, and several more who plan to join for one or more week-long segments.

One of my friends, remembering her first time training for and running in a marathon, keeps telling me it will be life-changing.  I respond that it has already changed my life.  Here is some of the evidence:

I started working with a trainer last May, before the bike trip pictured on the right. That was an Adventure Cycling trip, the Finger Lakes Loop in the state of New York.  That trip was in July, 2016.  The picture on the left is from February, 2017.

This year I celebrated my 60th birthday, and I am in the best shape of my life!
