Personal Narrative: One Road Two Wheel

One Road Two Wheels

Do you believe you can lose weight by just riding a bicycle? I am proof that you can do it, if you put your mind to it. Let’s jump on our bikes and go for a ride. Chicago is approximately two-hundred sixty miles from Greenville, Ohio. A group called Campus Life was heading to Chicago on their bikes. I was one of the thirty-five people to participate in the four-day trip. At first I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but by the end of the trip I knew that it was going to lead to a healthier lifestyle. I had my mom’s old mongoose bike that was black with a smooth edge on it. The bike was thirty-five years’ old with a busted beak that did not work that well. The bike was strong and built right for this sole purpose of
I was only 15 minutes into the ride and I was feeling it in my knee. I was saying that this is a bad idea to Maria but she knew I could do it. I have knee problems due to I was a runner throughout my young years of my life. Running my life away losing weight and that’s why I did this trip and prove myself. I remember we were on day two out of 4 and we were pushing people hard core going about sixty-five miles a day. You say that’s nothing but when you are with slow people my knee was hurting worse than before we started. I looked back and said every mile I can and I will do this. I think as a man I looked back and said why did I do this. I wanted to challenge myself and do something different than most people. I was peddling every day for this trip and I was happy and sore and tired, but it was for a good cause in life. I laid down and rested into the 3rd day on the road and was super worn out and my body was super tired and was not feeling the next day. I felt the pain in my knee and there was nothing I could do, but sucked it up and move forward. I said that and remembered there is no stopping for anything, just keep going I
I was so happy about not giving up, but life was hard because I weighed 190 and after that trip I came home 175 and happy, sadly single. I love to work out to this day I look back on that trip and think and know I can and will.
I did this trip due to that I need to lose weight as much as I could and it would not be worth doing the trip if I was not going to push myself and I did. I saw a few people struggle over the bike they had that they were using for the trip. I would have said something, but I did not want someone saying I can’t do this on this bike. If it was I would not have but it’s their death. I would push myself every day and feel the breeze in my hair and believe that one day I would see myself looking different. I was riding a 1993 mongoose road bike. I was scared with this bike due to that its old and I weigh 190 I mean it will be fine might break or something bad might happen. I was trying my hardest to keep the bike alive so I could take it. I did not want to buy a new one I rode this bike when I was growing up and I will say this might be a very strong bike and I can do this. I was on the 2nd day and my bike started acting up so I went on with it anyway and pushed till I knew one day this might just break and I was fixing every day I was riding I was upset with
