It could be worse...... I could be in a spin class
commuting this morning straight into a 20 mph wind, gusting to 25 mph, at my 12 o'clock, driving the falling snow right into my face, on an unplowed/unsalted MUP with ~1.5" of heavy, wet snow, i was asking myself "why do i do this to myself?"
then a thought occurred to me, and all of my self-pity immediately evaporated. it could be so much worse. i could be stuck in some disgusting clammy hot-house spin studio with some obnoxious instructor barking out orders.
yeah, it was cold. yeah, the wind and snow combined for some extremely slow-going (i was 15 minutes late to work). yeah, my co-workers all think i have some screws loose for riding in conditions like this morning.
but i was out there, riding my bike, in the elements (as challenging as they were), just as god intended!!!
to those that enjoy spin classes/indoor cycling, more power to you. i tried it once.......... that was enough. definitely not my cup of tea.
