Just like life, riding my bike doesn't always make sense. But that's why I love it

"I make the most and the least sense when I'm riding my bike.
It's one of the rare things in life that lets you escape from the world, while also connecting you to it. I love to spin my way through forests, around lakes, and into little communities I never knew existed.
Along the way, my brain disengages from stress. Life quiets down to simple rhythms. Problems seem to evaporate. Throw in a good podcast or music, and I'll be gone for hours".

I've been exercising for 5 decades now. I switched to biking in my mid-40's as running became less refreshing. I bike 1,000 miles a year. By Thanksgiving and thru Easter the weather in Central PA is not conducive otherwise I would bike all all year round. The only hazards I face are falling branches and deer running out on my trek.
