A further change
Michelle and I had a surprising conversation this afternoon, initiated by her, in which she said that she realizes how much riding means to me, and therefore wants me to feel free to continue—as long as it is with strict limitations. For now, I should do no more long rides on the road (such as to Saline), and should ride primarily off-road on bicycle paths or trails, other than the short route to and from work once my broken clavicle has healed up enough for me to resume. I'm certainly good with that, and grateful to her for this show of mercy—and as far as getting to trails concerned, it isn't as if they are right outside our door (with the exception of the Lohr-Textile Greenway, which begins only a few hundred yards from us), but it is not as if they are inaccessible either. So I am certainly breathing easier tonight.

As a former road biker and runner turned trail biker and runner, I can tell you that once you go trails, you'll never go back to roads. They are indeed harder to gain access to, unless you are lucky enough to live at a trail head (and it does sound like you are quite close) but the rewards of a trail are so much more than those of the road, especially for a nature enthusiast!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for your new adventures and the creatures you will meet. Happy trails, Allen!
