Fall is approaching as we are reaching month nine of our 2024 HM Mini Goal Program. Our August goal was to take a sunset walk with a friend, and we loved seeing the stunning sunsets you shared throughout the month!
This month’s HM Mini Goal is a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors as the air begins to get a little more crisp and the leaves begin to change around the country. We are going for a bike ride!
There is something special about the pace of a bike ride: faster than hiking so we cover much more ground, not so fast that we miss all the delightful details along familiar roadways that can be missed when speeding by in a car. We explore back roads and discover where they lead without the need for a specific destination. We feel more connected with the world around us—the fresh air, the trees, the birds overhead. This month, commit to taking a ride and rediscovering that childlike joy. Maybe you can replace a trip you normally take by car with a bike ride instead—to breakfast, the gym or the store. If you’re already an avid cyclist, select a new route to explore—or a more challenging distance. Or you can try mountain biking and enjoy the added sensory experience of riding in the woods. Biking is also a great group activity—take this opportunity to invite your partner or friends for a weekend ride along the coast and experience that joy together. And you don’t need to own a bike to join in. You can rent a bike from a local bike shop or a gym, or borrow a friend’s.
