You live in a very pretty part of the country. Anyway, I hope you take care, & have a fabulous day! :)

    Happy Birthday, Elena. Wasn't a cyclist while living in California and now I wish I was. Will have to bring my bike when I visit family again (or buy another one hehe.) Grew up in Huntington Beach and Laguna Hills but lived in San Jose for 6 years before moving to Iowa. Nice collection of bikes. Never visited Half Moon Bay and now wished I had. Scenery is amazing.

    Hi Elena, You mentioned that the years have been flying by since 2020. I get that, and I have been through that mindset as well. I am in my 6th decade of life now and what I have learned is that the only thing that matters is "right here right now". Its all about the moment. Yes, its wise to plan for the future, but dont waste a second in the process. We cant change the past, or control the future. But we can make choices right now...thats a great place to focus on. Give Oggy a big hug for me, and I wish you all the very best from Melbourne Australia✌️

    • @elenamakes
      @elenamakes  12 дней назад +1

    What bike are you riding? It is awesome.. speaking of the years flying by, I realized while watching this, that this is no longer my life…
    I spent 30 years having my life 100% revolving around my mountain bike and now I don’t ride at all.
    I am middle aged and found out a couple years ago I have some heart issues… so I am slowing down year by year.
    So live everyday. one day you will wake up and realize 30 years have passed, and you won’t “ get in shape” and then you have to find other things to keep you going.
    We all go through it…. Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Sure brought me back to better times when my life revolved around two wheels and I was part of a tribe.
