Enjoy The Ride One Mile At A Time

It’s too easy to focus on mileage, avg speed, or some Strava KOM segment. Sometimes, the beauty and joy of cycling is lost.  What’s needed is a little reminder of why cycling is so great.

On a recent ride when I was testing out my bikepacking setup, I decided to look around and take one picture per mile ridden and use one word to describe the picture. The pictures are far from perfect, but that’s what caught my eye and my unsteady hand during that mile.

Hope you enjoy the ride through pictures and few words.

About Andy Amick
A little bit nutty in general, a lotta bit nutty about bikes. Each of his boys received a bike helmet for their first birthday and the three of them have been biking together ever since.
