Ride

I tried out for the college football team but failed miserably when a pulling guard stepped on my foot breaking it in several places. The subsequent lack of exercise led me to gain about 30-40 pounds. Argh, I needed to do something! For some odd reason at the same time, I became interested in watching and reading about the Tour de France. The history of the race is incredible. It inspired me to join the college cycling team, and I fell in love the sport. Eventually, I qualified and raced at the Nationals. These days I don't race but I still I love to ride and maybe more than ever. Perhaps, it wasn't such a bad thing that I broke my foot?
