Today is bike ride 1 of 62. Riding allows me to be in the moment and to slow down and see what is happening along the trail. This ride I was enjoying the wild flowers along the trail. Stopping to take a picture, I found this bee hungrily eating. Can you say "honey"?

| Today's ride was on the Simon Kenton Trail, Springfield to Urbana. 22 miles |
The Story - It was on this ride that the idea of the 365.62.24 project was born. As I was riding, I was reflecting on my birthday and thinking about some of the "I want to's" that I often talked about. I want to take more and better photos; I want to ride my bike; and I want to get rid of this extra weight. And suddenly it hit me - The Power of A Year.
If I took a picture each day - 365 days, I would be capturing memories of the year. By focusing on at least one picture a day, I would stop and appreciate the moments throughout the day. And by snapping pictures daily, it would motivate me to improve my skill. I want my pictures to tell a story.
I love riding my bike; so make it happen.
And that extra weight I have been lugging around. In reality, if I move more - i.e. ride my bike, hike, and walk and just eat a little less; it should be gone in a year. Think about it - that's 2 lbs./month.
