Reminder to keep things in #perspective. We are spiritual beings having human experiences. #ThisTooShallPass

I don’t usually get to see TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com on a big screen, but I’m at the lobby computer at a cool hotel (with a 🚲 room🤸‍♂️❤️). You may enjoy a sneak peek. Tap in and follow if these kinds of rubber-hits-the-road captures interest you. #bikelife @alofthotels

New hip cool hotel’s bike room. My bike wants some friends!

Just pretty stuff while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike . . .

For anyone who needs this reminder right about now: Stop waiting for the right time. Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for someday. Stop waiting your turn. You get once around the park in life, folks. Don’t stop believing in your purpose and power. Your heart already knows what it wants to do. Stop standing in its way.

Meet Oliver and André. They are #TodaysNiceStranger. They moved stuff for me and made it all an absolute pleasure. See more nice strangers at @todaysnicestranger.

Let go. #TrustTheJourney

Meet Barry. He is #TodaysNiceStranger. I met him while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike. He is sketching America (see @captain_sketcher). See more nice strangers @todaysnicestranger.

Am back #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike with Della Ray, which is 🎶 to my ears in the midst of #eldercare challenges. But I’m missing my girls, especially here.

And the journey continues . . .

Mud, and lots of it. Keep pedaling forward, folks.

So yum. #Panera #vegetarian sandwich (has hummus and feta on it, and that bread is like a tomato bread or something). AND my local Panera has a bike rack — which is 100% why I chose to go there instead of somewhere else! #BikesMeanBusiness

suburban bike rack

(I’m holding the water jugs but you can’t see them!!!) Anyway, I’m thinking I keep this up for a few weeks (including adding distance) and then I move on to . . . bags of potatoes 🥔!!!! #ChopWoodCarryWater #carryingwater #IfYouFailToPlanYouPlanToFail

#ChopWoodCarryWater #TrustTheJourney #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike

Chop wood. Carry water. Chop wood. Carry water. Just keep getting up each day and doing what needs doing, folks. The rewards are along the way. #TrustTheJourney #KeepItSimple #ChopWoodCarryWater

Day 1 was hard, and Day 2 yesterday (with soreness from Day 1 — that 💦 is heavy!) darn near separated the meat from the bones on my forearms (I took a ton of breaks during the mile walk up and down that hill to ease up on them). Day 3 today, however, was a breeze (with not one break needed)!!!! Moral: don’t give up!!! #carryingwater #IfYouFailToPlanYouPlanToFail

It’s that time . . .

Goal: ability to carry 80 pounds of 💦 2 miles. I started today with 10 pounds/1 mile. #IfYouFailToPlanYouPlanToFail
