The Mountain in My Mind

From my bike in Spin Class, I can see this mountain.  It is across a roomful of people working out.  I can't get that picture because of the bright sunlight coming in the windows, but it is a spectacular view.

As the spin instructor urges us on during the class, I try to take my mind off my lack of oxygen and my trembling legs by picturing myself biking up this mountain.

The hope, of course, is that if I were riding outside, I would actually make it to the top.  In reality, I am fairly certain I would only make it to the base of the mountain.

That is the penalty for staying off the bike so long; starting back on the flat road, and suffering through the hills.
