As I was out riding with my husband (Ben) last week, my heart swelled with love at the incredible man that he is. Since Ben won’t be on the Reno ride with me over Valentine’s weekend, I thought I’d write an early “Tribute to My Valentine,” dedicated to my husband and all dirt bikers who so graciously give their time and patience in helping those with less experience. At the risk of being too “sappy”, here it is:
Thank you for your positive spirit and never-ending words of encouragement.
Thank you for always inspiring me, through your example, to be more than I am.
Thank you for your patience and care in always waiting for me after difficult corners or sections of trail to make sure that I made it through safely, even though I’ve never asked you to do this.
Thank you for always stopping and asking me if I’m ready before you take me on a stretch of new and difficult terrain.
Thank you for always saying, “I think you can do it!” when I ask.
Thank you for never belittling me or making me feel “less than” if I tell you I’m not quite ready for a particular new challenge.
Thank you for understanding and respecting my learning process and for helping me to continually expand my skills.
Thank you for your abundant show of enthusiasm when we complete a difficult course and you see the big smile on my face.
Thank you for your wonderful sense of humor and the many, many laughs that we’ve shared.
Thank you for knowing that I need to be independent and ride a separate trail from you at times.
Thank you for your complete kindness and love, always.
