#130: Sarah Lee's cross country ride, dealing with off-the-bike depression - a podcast by Red Kite Prayer

Have you ever ridden across the country? It is one of those things that many of us have considered, and most of us haven't found either the time or the motivation to do it. Selene encountered a vet named Sarah Lee who rode from the East Coast to the Golden Gate Bridge. We have a short clip from the interview and she talks about what she encountered on her trip. Stay tuned for an episode of Tandem with her full interview. Depression comes in a few different flavors, and one of them for athletes is the depression that can come as a result of being off the bike due to injury. Patrick talks about the neuroscience of what's missing—specifically the neurotransmitters that make up a flow state—when you don't get to ride, and then what you can do to try to get that fix. Whether you're a baker, love video games or like working on the thing you can't ride, there's a solution out there.
