I rode to and from work yesterday on the trails. I felt great, and rode well, and had a wonderful time. And that's okay. However, there is a danger. It's an easy slope to slip down that starts with enjoying the ride. Then, it moves toward the ride brings me joy. This is followed by the ride is the reason for my joy. That's a bad place to be.
I need to be careful. I really do enjoy riding, but the ride can't be the reason. It all has to point back to God, because God makes very clear that he will not share His glory with another. In addition, if I am depending upon the bike, it will let me down. I would then have the problem of being without joy because of a bad ride.
It was the first ride with the new tires. The new tires are really quite grippy. I'm sure there's a lesson from that, too, but all I have so far is "Whoo hoo!"
