What do you FEAR?
Fear is complex.
What would it take for you to face your FEAR?
Fear is primal.
Imagine WHAT it would feel like to conquer your FEAR?
Fear has psychological and physiological responses and reactions.
How does overcoming FEAR...your greatest fear and your smallest fears...HOW does it change how you LIVE?
What is holding you back?
Who is keeping possession of you?
When will you face your fears?
Why are you living so small?
You could live BIG, BOLD, BOISTEROUSLY.
What is stopping you?
Simple: Fear.
Fear is a feeling of: loss of control.
Let go of the reigns. Control is exact. Control is order. Control is fixation on managing your life around your fears.
LET
IT
GO.
Finally, go ahead.
LIVE.

Mental Training and Indoor Cycling
My philosophy as an indoor cycling instructor is to foster an environment that makes all my students feel connected to the cycle, and to the class experience. If they feel connected, or achieve a sense of resonance with the process of cycling, then I can be a facilitator in building confidence.
Once we have a foundation of self-confidence, our students will hopefully develop a greater sense of locus-of-control, and foster self-efficacy. In my experience, self-efficacy in the indoor cycling studio translates to a student feeling more confident to increase the resistance so that the result is: greater power output.
What is power? Power is the total energy or work a person is able to produce in a given time frame. Simply, in cycling the more continuous force on the pedal cranks x speed of the pedal stroke = power.
Let's not overthink this philosophy and let's take that power from the indoor cycling environment and head outside on your favorite cycling route!

Tips for Trail Running By Christine Luff About.com Guide
Tips for Trail Running
By Christine Luff, About.com Guide
Updated August 07, 2011
If running on the roads is starting to bore you, try switching up your routine with some trail running. Just keep the following tips in mind before you hit the trails:
Choose Trails Wisely
Run on trails that are appropriate for fitness level. Flat trails are recommended if you're a beginner, while more experienced runners can choose hilly, challenging trails.
Get the Right Gear
Wear trail-running shoes, and dress in synthetic fabric running clothes that are appropriate for the weather conditions.
Buddy Up
If possible, get a friend to run with you. If you're running alone, always make sure you tell someone which trail you'll be running on.
Slow It Down
Trail running is usually harder on the body than road running, so plan to run fewer miles at a slower pace on trails than you do on the roads.
Pay Attention
Keep your head up and your eyes on the trail ahead. Try not to look down at your feet, so you can watch ahead for obstacles such as rocks, roots, logs and branches.
Careful on the Downhills
Don't get out of control on steep downhills. Control your speed and keep your head up, so you can avoid obstacles.

CYCLE BUCKS COUNTY, June 25th, 2011
Get on your Bikes and Ride...
Sports Psychologist and Award winning Cyclist K.C. Wilder Presents “Safety Town”. Author and Mother-of-Two to Host Safety Skills Clinic for Kids at First Annual Cycle Bucks County Charity Bike Ride
Dr. K.C. Wilder, a renowned sports psychologist, award winning cyclist, author and mother of two, will host a safety and skills clinic for children ages four through ten as part of the full schedule of kids’ activities planned for Cycle Bucks County, the first annual charity bike ride benefitting the Tara L. Riedley Foundation and the New Hope-Solebury Community Association. The one-day bicycle tour, which is designed to raise funds and awareness for these two Bucks County organizations whose missions are focused on furthering education and opportunity for all, will take place on Saturday, June 25th.
The Cycle Bucks County ride is open to all levels, from beginner to serious cyclists. Participants choose from three routes ranging in length from 10 to 60 miles, winding through the scenic roadways of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Rest stops and SAG support are provided on all routes. A vendor expo, one mile kids fun ride and children’s activities will take place throughout the day at New Hope-Solebury High School, where the ride will begin and end. At the conclusion of the race, participants and volunteers will enjoy a celebratory lunch.
“Bicycling is a lifelong sport that gives us freedom to go places, and keep fit,” says Wilder. “Learning the rules of the road gives children self-confidence, and judgment on how, and where they should ride.” It is with this in mind that Wilder will teach participants the fundamentals of bicycle safety before they hop on their bikes for an obstacle course and a short criterium. Each participant will receive an award recognizing his/her efforts and every participant will automatically be entered to win a brand new 2011 Fuji Absolute Bicycle. While, there is no additional charge for the clinic, Wilder will be offering autographed copies of her book Tour de You for $10. The proceeds from book sales will be donated back to Cycle Bucks County.
Dr. K.C. Wilder’s “Safety Town” Clinic will take place at Noon. The schedule for additional kids’ events is:
Children's Activity Tent – 9am - 3pm
Arts and Crafts (2-10 years of age)
Fun Ride – 9am – 2 pm
One-Mile “track” on the grounds where children two through ten can ride “Hot Wheels”-type cycles
K.C. Wilder Safety Town Safety & Skills Clinic – Noon
Raffle of Fuji Bike – 2 pm
Additional details and registration info is available at www.cyclebuckscounty.org.
About The Tara L. Riedley Foundation

The Foundation was established to keep Tara’s legacy of academic excellence and voluntarism alive, while celebrating her adventurous and compassionate spirit. Through its Board of Directors, the Foundation supports a portfolio of non-profit organizations from coast to coast that furthers Tara's message of hope, education and opportunity for all.

About New Hope-Solebury Community Association

In 1957 the Community Association financed the addition to the gymnasium building for locker rooms, cafeteria and kitchen facilities. Since that time the CA has continued to support the students and the community by establishing the New Hope Soccer Club for children of all ages; providing scholarships for graduating seniors; and sponsoring various youth teams.
