On January 15th, I published a post about the cyclocomputer I installed on my bike. Now we are starting April and the odometer shows 486.6 kilometres.
I know this may not be a big deal to some more dedicated cyclists; however, it means a lot to me. I have been keeping active, doing sport, clearing my mind, helping me in many ways to cope with the challenges in my life. I have a lot of intrusive thoughts and cycling has been a good way to clear them when they appear with their stridencies to sabotage my desires and aspirations.
I am not taking into account here the kilometres I have cycled since the first of January, but I am sure I have exceeded 500 kilometres. Does this mean that at this rate I could manage to cover a distance of perhaps more than 1000 kilometres by the end of this year... 1500 will be possible? Maybe yes. I would like it to be even more, because doing it, with the right physical preparation, eating the right food to overcome any fatigue, and focused, positive thinking and self-confidence, will translate into a lot more self-care and self-love, something that will come back multiplied to everyone who needs that medicine and is somehow close to me.
And that's it. We are done.
And you're probably wondering... eh, so what? For this you made me come all the way here? 😟
And I answer you: well, this is just a joke but if it wasn't, I also included a snap of things I like to eat. And look, these are the ice cream containers that I recycle to keep the snacks I take on my bike rides. 😃
...
OK, you are actually right. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. People exercise, people walk, people take time alone, some people know what meditation is, and some people don't, but at least they already have the word in their mind... This is already a first step. We have to take the first step, even if it costs.
But let me tell you one more thing: I think it has been important for me to focus on my body while moving, wherever I go, and on my safety. Present moment stuff. Remember that I move in a city where the streets are not designed for cyclists, nor are they well paved, and drivers are not at all friendly to us.
So, when I get on my bike I just have those movements in mind that will get me from point A to point B. And I've already told you, but I'll say it again, I focus on feeling my body, the wind on my face, the happiness of being able to do what I love to do.
Here are some video scenes from a beautiful bike ride that I would like to repeat again. This occurred on 16 February.
Music used in the video: Me and My Latte by alanajordan on Pixabay.

For filming I used the Akaso Brave 4 action camera, but there were some videos that I filmed with my mobile phone. You will notice the difference between one and the other.
When I had uploaded the video more than 70% of the time, I realised that the background music has an ugly sound at the end that I didn't clean up. And I don't like it... you can check it in the link I left you of the music downloaded from Pixabay. Bah, I know you won't even listen to it. My connection is so bad that today I decided not to be a perfectionist. Anyway, when I am, it's not perfect either, so.... 🤷♀️

If I saw the video until the end and if I listened to the music, I think there was a string broken, maybe, I don't know, but the ride is great, the food is adequate for the energy you should have and the method you use to clear your mind helps you a lot.
For some it will be cycling, for others painting, for others walking, the important thing is to stay healthy physically and mentally, especially the latter which leads to the former. A big hug!

Oh, 😄 thank you for all that you have seen, heard, and for the support with this project.
Yes, it could be anything... the important thing is that the memory is already here among my things. And it makes me happy to remember happy moments too.
🤗
Always, always in the mind the happy moments to call more of them, remember... the soul guides life!
✨
So good
Thanks
Hi @nanixxx, I came here to see the video. To listen to you and enjoy every frame, great ending, very well chosen music and I loved watching that bird fly.
A very big hug,
How can you do that and be the first to arrive and see everything? 😁
A very big hug.
I was on the computer and you posted....
Of course, but it gives me joy!
Now I'm working on the post I told you about, I also hope it brings you some joy.
Seguro que sí. 🤗
Falta poco...
There's no denying that cycling is good for your health. I'd love to go for that ride, but at my age, I wouldn't risk doing it on a bike, but I can walk. Treat me sometime. 🚶😘❤️
Yo con gusto. 😘😀
A nice little ride, without much riding as you all seem to be walking LOL
I knew someone would make that observation. The girl's bike had problems and she couldn't climb hills, she had to make a lot of effort and she got tired, so we got off several times to accompany her. On the descents, which had a ravine in front and to the side, it was also dangerous because sometimes the brakes didn't respond. So I was the oldest person there and I decided that we should all walk. Hahahaha... But that happened only in those small parts of the ride. To take that boat you have to pedal about 18 kilometres and then to return on it the same amount of kilometres back home.
Call me Mr. observant LOL, so it now all makes sense to me thanks
🤣😅 I was thinking that I'm always glad for your visit. I should have explained it in the post or I don't know.... 🤷🏻
No worries, I am just inquisitive by nature.
😂 No, I'm not worried, quite the contrary. I enjoy it!
super 👍
The connection is playing tricks on me and making it difficult to watch the video, but more importantly, 500 km!!, you're amazing! In a straight line, you would be reaching roughly Camagüey; it’s crazy!
🤣 Well, it's really not much. I would like to get out more. Imagine that by doing just 10 km a day in 30 days you can have 300 accumulated.... I want to discipline myself more and also go on longer outings to other provinces. What happens is that you have to find company, people with the same interests as me. That's not very easy to find in the midst of everything we're going through, but that's where we're going.

Thank you! 😇
I understand you, I started hiking in January and I have thought several times that I should have measured my kilometers, but well, it doesn't matter, because I see the positive changes in me.... I'm glad to read this publication, because they are personal achievements and you can inspire many, like me, I have also thought about a bicycle 😅 You know there are no competitions friend, this is about personal growth and satisfaction, I congratulate you and hug you in the distance, I know there will be much more to come, and I look forward to reading that post in the future too ❤️
Motivation... finding it, anywhere, is great. I'd love to be the inspiration for you to start cycling. It's a wonderful, all-round exercise. We have to take care of ourselves and love ourselves more. 🤗 Hugs received and back!
