Get going.....

I get up in the morning not wanting to get out of bed... 
I see the light from blinds on my window.... 
It's still not a bright day, but it's the daybreak... 
Oh I know I want to see it closer but not from the bed... 
I wake up and put on my suit and shoes, it's time to move (not quite what you are thinking) ... 
Pushing the pedals hard... It's a sluggish start...
I am looking at the horizon and it's just starting to glow from the dark...
No wonder I start to hum a tune I like...
Well the rhythm kicks in and it's a sheer delight...
After a while it's a beautiful day... The sun is up and the clouds are at bay...
It's crisp cold and I am moving through the trees...
The tires are shining and the roads gleaming with the dew I could see....
Just another corner, but I won't turn back yet...
Just need to get to that horizon I set my sight on at the onset....
People are moving now along with you to that place...
There are a lot more now to enjoy with the eyes on the horizon for you....
So the move alone at the beginning of day becomes a journey with friends...
To the horizon that you all looked at when the daybreak began...
Get going... It's the start of the day....
To the horizon and back with memories to look back again....

Cycling down the road

For cyclists out there.... and the one within everyone I know...
Its a music that we hear...
The quite of mountains...
The rush of streams...
The crowd in cities...
The peace of night....

When all is still around you, but you are moving...
When the moon is the only one ready to walk with you...
When breeze wants to make you smile and push you further...
When rain wants to wash away your fatigue and give you the boost...
When sun wants to beat you down and make you stop...
When the cold wants to break you and go brittle....

All the time that you have with yourself and with those who see you for yourself...
All the time when you seek what you want...
Those moments looking at the front wheel and ahead...thinking what life means to you and how you see what lies ahead for you ...not just on the path ...but on the path of life....

All those times when you want to climb up a mountain and you see the top and go, will you be there?
And when you are up there you look down and think you traveled that way to be up there....

All those times when the routes tell you what life is about when you go up and down...
When you move where you wanted roads but there ain't one...
When you thought it would be nice and you struggled...
When you were bracing yourself for something bad, but all goes smoothly....

More than a sport. more than an activity, more than just joy...its a way of thinking....

Pedal hard...keep thinking!!!!
