🚴‍♀️ This year, my word is ENERGIZE — and my big, slightly scary goal is to ride my first century bike ride (that’s 100 miles!).
Along the way, I’ve discovered:
✨ Goals take grace (because some weeks you nail it, others you don’t).
✨ Community matters (shoutout to the cyclists who’ve fixed my chain mid-ride).
✨ Laughing at the learning curve helps (like the time I unknowingly rode 20 miles with my brake half-on 🤦‍♀️).
Whether I finish 60 miles or the full 100 later this month, it’s still progress — and that’s worth celebrating. 🙌
So here’s my question to you:
👉 What do you have 100 miles in you to accomplish this year?
