  this is something I should’ve written in July, but here we are... So, December is around the corner.. and I’m just now sitting down to write about my first-ever  Chasing Yellow  Tour in  July .  Procrastination? Maybe. But, you know,   it’s not like I've been binge-watching Netflix for four months—nah,  just reflecting on my glory- I've been  introspecting  on my glory days,  my agony- I've been analyzing every ill-fated decision.. and the questionable decisions I made while attempting to become a cycling 'legend'.

I know what you’re thinking 'But Kim, it’s just a climb. How bad can it be? You've tackled worse with way more elevation!' Well, let me paint you a picture. A  presentable  one. At least, that’s what I wished..🌄🌅🌃🌋🌊🌉🌈🌠 Nope.♿ It was like someone replaced my legs with jelly on that day, you know.. not the good kind.  The kind that makes you wonder what on earth you were thinking when you signed up for this kind of torture, in the middle of the week.

Hello. And. WELCOME! So, how did you end up here? 👀 Did you accidentally click the wrong link?  Were you googling something like 'how to stop your bike from squeaking' and somehow got sidetracked or what so? Or maybe you’re just here to laugh at someone else's suffering.. Either way, welcome to PedalPusherKim! Well, well..If you somehow stumbled onto this page and thought,  'Hey, why not read about some random person’s obsession with cycling?' Now, you’re in the right place. 👌👌👌 Grab a snack (preferably something that won’t get stuck in your teeth) Dive into this two-wheeled rollercoaster of a blog How It All Began Rewind to end of April 2024, when I first discovered Zwift and thought, 'This should be easy, right?' Fast forward to today, and here I am—cycling went from a casual “meh, let’s see what happens” to a full-blown, ' What have I done to my life???'  obsession.  Turns out, pedalling isn’t as simple as just  pedalling . 🚲🚲🚲 Who knew?
