When I’m on my bike, I forget that I have MS.
MS Global was the most intimidating and exhilarating thing that I have ever done! Climbing is not my strong point but the opportunity to ride in the Alps and the Dolomites inspired me to step up to the plate, so to speak. And take my training to a higher level. This quote from Deirdre is what I will always replay in my mind when ever I am thinking that the challenge is too great:
“Just like in life, there are some ups and some downs. You gotta get through the rough stuff to get to appreciate the fun stuff. Every day you will be challenged by your perceptions. The trick is to not let your perceptions bog you down, but rather let them inspire you to do what you think is not possible. Find your Inner Billy Goat. Believe.”
And that applies to more than just riding a bike!
