Have you stopped to think about how a healthy life could be considered a bike trail? The only difference is we can't map this trail ahead of time.

Bike Pic Jan 5, Spinning for a Healthy Life Along the Trail

Have you ever stopped to think about how a healthy life could be considered a bike trail? The only difference,  we can’t map this trail ahead of time, we just take it as it comes and map it after we’ve been there – in the form of memories. It’s always fun to set out on new adventures and life itself is the ultimate adventure.

It's Wise Words Wednesday here at HaveFunBiking. This weeks quote comes from Miley Cyrus, "Life's A Climb, But The View Is Great".

Bike Pic Jan 4, Life’s A Climb, But The View Is Great

It’s Wise Words Wednesday here at HaveFunBiking. This weeks quote comes from Miley Cyrus, “Life’s A Climb, But The View Is Great”. So make plans when it warms up to climb all sorts of new heights this year! Photo was taken last year on the pump track at the Annual La Crosse Bicycle Festival held each year, in Wisconsin, over Labor Day Weekend.

And to further quote the song, “There’s always gonna be another mountain. I’m always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be an uphill battle. Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose. Ain’t about how fast I get there. Ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side. It’s the climb”
