Reflection

An interesting part of drafting the manuscript for my upcoming book release was looking back through photos of past experiences with physical activity and outdoor recreation.

I didn't use this one in the book but I wanted to share it here. This photo was taken in 2009 with my youngest son, after I bought my first bike (the one on the left). I had cycled a little before this using our teen sons bikes, but this was the first bike I had actually owned as an adult! 

That was the beginning of so many adventures! I cant believe it was well over a decade ago, 12 years in fact!

12 years of pushing the boundaries of my physical fitness and gaining confidence in myself and my abilities!

That bike is long gone, I have had several bikes since then, but my current carbon road bike I have had for 5 years and we have climbed many mountains together. 

Find the outdoor recreation activity you love and you will never regret it!
