Poetry Project, V. 9.0, Day 9

Ahhh, there is very little that inspires like the addition of a new horse in the stable.  yeah, for all of those who remember, I really enjoy riding a bike.  Virtually any bike, really, and I have been wanting to try getting out of my normal realm of road biking and get into a little bit of the off-road stuff.  It will be nice to get into a new discipline, and I find myself much more excited for it than even I originally anticipated.  Naturally, I tried it out immediately, and wow, how different!  It's been a while since I have had that much fun on a bike, and still got a good little workout.  Let the fun begin!!

Re-Training

you think you have it,

the way you have to move, 

the fit is dialed in just right

and you've adjusted -

it's like coming home.

then you make a change - 

something new, 

a twist in the pattern,

move your hands apart, 

sit up,

the geometry is wrong, 

different,

it doesn't rock the same way, 

the balance is different,

the response is challenging.

suddenly, there is new life - 

everything feels just a bit strange,

but it feels good, too -

it feels - 

like living again.

Thanks for reading,

Me
