Biking

Since we sold our car, I was a little nervous about biking being the main mode of transportation, especially with winter coming up. But yesterday Eric and I rode our bikes to our friend’s restaurant north of the city. It was about 8 miles to get there, which is no ride to Redhook Brewery (20miles), but I was nervous and couldn’t tell you why… We made it there, had dinner, and made it back to the city with no problems, except for of course our frozen faces and fingers. On the way back, when I was in sight of the city, I realized that nothing can hold me back from traveling. If I could conquer this silly hurtle in my head of riding my bike down dark roads to a place I’ve never been, then what is the difference in traveling to another country for an adventure! Don’t get me wrong, I have wanted to travel for quite some time now, but it always seemed something that would never be here. But now I am ready, and less scared than I was!
