Double congratulations, Noble. I can't imagine doing a 90 mile bike ride!
Just shows how anything is possible once you are determined and put your mind to it.
Really pleased for you for both of your amazing achievements!!

Dear Noble
Really, well done. Like you, I passed my 90 mark this month and it really was a great milestone. I am amazed how many things in life have improved in this period. I am not saying it has been without its challenges and problems but I am incredibly grateful to have got this far.
I feel a bit of a change in mood now the 90 mark is passed. I need to make sure I don't lose my vigilence.

Long distance rides are zen to me; when climbing thousands of feet in altitude on hilly roads and bombing down them at 40+ mph, there is simply not much room in my mind to get caught dwelling on anything, just 100% focus on the challenge directly in front of me. A good mindset for staying sober, it seems.

Awesome job on the 90 days N/C. Joining a bike club seems like a really great way to test your limits. To stay alive you've got to stay hungry, never lose your zeal and passion for life and never let the fire inside you burn out. Again, congrats on the 90 mile marker.
I did a 20 mile bicycle ride today and that was plenty in this heat. Great Job NC!!
