Riding with a positive attitude

When I woke up this morning , I had real problems with my right shoulder as it was jolly painful. It was because I moved the compost heap yesterday. On top of this it was very windy and I just did not feel like getting on the road. I sat and had a cup of coffee and read about the apostle Paul when he was in prison, it seemed to me that my shoulder pain and the windy day was nothing in comparison to what he went through. I decided that I would have days like this when I was travelling the LEJOG so this would be good practice for then. Anyhow just imagine what it must have been like in Scotland yesterday for those poor souls who were on the road between B and B's. As it turned out I had a wonderful ride despite the windy day. I forgot about my shoulder after about 30 minutes and the weather and the countryside were wonderful. I was so glad I was out there on the bike, with the "wind in my Wheels"
