Biking in the Backwoods
With the leaves changing and the radiant colors of fall livening the countryside, October is a perfect time for a bike ride through the backwoods. The heat of summer has subsided and the cool fall air provides for a refreshing outing. Regardless if you are accompanied by a close friend or deciding to ride solo, it is always enjoyable. I feel like a breath of fresh air and change of scenery is able to do wonders for the mind. Whenever I feel stressed due to the burdens of life, I feel that I can always find a way to release those pressures by interacting with Gods wonderful creation. So if you ever get to feeling weighed down by the hectic world we live in, try to take a casual ride through nature and see everything that it has to offer!

I have no idea the last time I rode a bike :/ Props to you, other than it being what seems to be a hobby of yours, its also a great way to exercise, especially in the backwood, that seems a lot harder! Ha.
ReplyDeleteJamie,
ReplyDeleteFirst off I love your description of the fall scenery! I took on bike riding about a year ago and while I'm still not the greatest at it or have the time for it I still really enjoyed it much more then I thought I would. Something about riding by yourself with nothing but you and the road has a very soothing effect.
I think I might just buy a bike because of this. It's a great hobby to have and it's great exercise. Kudos to you Jamie for using this as an outlet.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to buy a bike but living in an apartment makes it nearly impossible to properly house a bike. I don't have a balcony (and even if I did, who'd want a bike sitting on the balcony) nor do I have any storage, so that's my main reason for not having a bike. And as strange as it sounds, when I do decide to buy a house, I do want a bike to be one of my first purchases. It is definitely a great passive exercise.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of relieving life's pressures by riding and enjoying God's creation! Just thinking about it relaxes me.
ReplyDeleteI recently started biking with my son this spring, I have to admit we have both fell off do to the summers scorching conditions on top of me just being overly busy. I love the idea of serenity through cycling, I'll have to get back out there to enjoy the crisp air and view of natures falling.

ReplyDeleteGreat way to create a mental picture. Makes me want to get the bike out next weekend.
ReplyDeleteI like going biking riding with my daughters. It allows me to clear my stressors of everyday life and I feel a lot better once I'm done. Bike riding is one of the best full body cardio workouts there is.
ReplyDeleteI like going biking with my friends. It just makes me think positive.
