TRY // by OCEAN M. “I truly began to live again for the first time since my dad passed away.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “One year ago yesterday I walked into The Vault at Wheelhouse Cycle Club for the first time. I was anxious but excited to try something new. I hadn't exercised in nearly six years and I was out of shape. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. With fear of the unknown and “what ifs” running through my mind, I pushed through and stepped out of my comfort zone that night. I feared missing the beat, falling off the bike, missing the choreography, and even puking. I distinctly remember contemplating leaving and never coming back. However, I challenged myself to just try — and try I did. Afterwards, the feelings of elation, pride, and accomplishment were beyond anything I'd felt before. I was inspired to come back and I'm SO incredibly glad that I simply TRIED. If hadn't, I would never have found the community in which I belong. For me, riding is about setting goals, stepping outside of my comfort zone, challenging myself, making friends and, most importantly, having fun in the moment. By doing all these things I began to change. I gained more confidence, I felt stronger, and I started to enjoy the little things in life again without feeling guilty. I truly began to live again for the first time after my dad passed away. For a long time after he died I felt like I couldn't have fun and couldn't enjoy life because he wasn't here to enjoy it with me. Through exercising and trying something new I learned that life goes on and that’s okay. I learned that it's okay to fail as long as you pick yourself up (even if that literally means picking yourself up off the floor because you're just so klutzy you legitimately fell off the bike 🙈). I learned that through every struggle there's something to be gained (sprinting is hard but that doesn't mean you should give up; embrace it. Push through). The risks I've now taken through exercise have inspired me to make changes in my academic life. I’m now off to pursue a Masters in Educational Psychology at the U of C. Moral of the story: just TRY. You’ll be amazed at the results.” -Ocean

HAPPY ONE-YEAR, MICHAEL B! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First year in a nutshell: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I’ll keep it short and sweet. This past year has been an absolute whirlwind, but most of all, it has been the most incredible year to date. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was given the opportunity to discover a new passion, and using this passion I’ve been able to meet so many incredible people. Not only meet them, but I’ve been able to lead them, struggle with them, and most importantly, grow beside them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So cheers to you, WHEELPACK. I owe this past year to you, and all of your struggles and successes. And cheers, to another year of Matches, 150RPM sprints, and just the right amount of swearing. Thank you for riding with me 😊” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -@mbetteridge
