So I am back here once again; I get the chance to tell you interesting stuff about my cycling. So today, @eminentsam48 came around with Jewel(the name of the bicycle) and I decided to ride on it in my cranny area. I had always been hesitant to ride in this area, but today I decided to face my fears.
It's funny how I quickly learn from experiences and the tiniest of things. I will share with you what happened today and then tell you the most interesting part.

I pedaled the bicycle under the scorning sun with rocks and potholes scattered on the ground, I didn't even want to consider it, and I climbed higher; the incline grew steeper. The bicycle wobbled, and I struggled to maintain balance. Suddenly, the front wheel hit a rock, and I stumbled. (Very bad) I caught myself just in time, but my heart was racing so fast as I mumbled to myself, "That was close" because I would have fallen into the drainage system. (A very large opening where water flows)

I picked up speed holding firmly to the handlebars, as the cold wind rushed past my face, but I stayed focused, braking carefully and navigating my way through the twists and turns until I finally got to a smooth ground.
It wasn't easy, though, as I am still learning how to ride on a rocky path, but I am glad I rode past it unharmed.
It made me reflect on the following lessons:

📍Life's full of ups and downs, but with determination, I can overcome any obstacle.
📍 Falls and setbacks are inevitable, but I can learn from them and grow.
📍The fears don't determine your fate, so face it, and you will overcome them!
Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have gotten value for your time. I also hope to get a chance to ride Jewel sometime so I can share my experiences with you all. Cycling is a fun hobby for me; until then, stay safe, amigos.👋
Oh, you met the Jewel 😀
I did notice the saddle isn't straight. That might not be very comfortable during a ride.

Ohh...okay. Thank you for your expertise eye in seeing the fault.
Cycling is like life. There are hard and easy rides, many obstacles to overcome, times when you just don't want to ride at all and think to yourself, why ?
Then you get that sweet ride .....
A beautiful day, stunning scenery, you feel you can traverse the globe many times over. You look back at this ride and know we are here on this Earth to enjoy what Nature has to offer.
OR .....
In your first ever race, you came second to last (you beat the rider that hit a tree or something, was probably me). The adrenaline rush you got from that event makes it so worth it.
