Inspiration

Having adventures is a common theme of my life. I enjoy new experiences that allow me to see the world from a novel perspective. I am new to the cycling community, and I do not know all of the proper language or norms, but I am excited to immerse myself! 

Before I met my boyfriend, Zach, I disliked anything with wheels that required a helmet. I am very klutzy and these forms of movement typically promote cumbersome hospital visits. I am not very keen on camping, mostly due to poor previous experiences that I shall share at a later date, but I have slowly learned to step away from my previous city necessities and enjoy nature.

Zach is the person that has guided me through my bicycling experience. Our first cycling trip was October 2013 when we participated in the Hilly Hundred. This is a two day bike event that is located in southern Indiana, and as the name alludes itself, there are 100 hilly miles to complete. I truly enjoyed this tandem ride, and have invested into my own road bike. In our next adventure, we will be riding the Natchez Trace.

Spinning Spokes will hopefully become a guide to other beginner cyclists, and to immerse you all on the journeys that lay ahead. As time allows, I will post details of our planned trips including food, travel plans, bike parts, training, and pictures from the actual trip! I hope this will inspire others to start their own amazing journey and enjoy life with the beauty of nature.
