Once More - a Kid!!
One of the things that I love about bicycling is that I can - in my mind, at least - return to the more carefree days like when I was a kid - riding my bicycle all over, no goals to worry about, just have fun.
This morning - out with the Rockhopper at 6:45, temp 46F, challenging the single track we have near my home for about an hour (the rising sun shining through beautiful autumn gold leaves), then some cement trail riding, then stop by McD's for a quick breakfast, then to the Senior Center arts and crafts show where I bought some "Monkey Butter"**********, then off to the pool for a refreshing swim, then home.
Then, my son, Andy, came over with his helper, and we walked a fast mile as he pedaled his 3 wheeler.
It was a great worry-free, relaxed, exercise-filled morning!!
Just wanted to share. No responses required.

Yes I like the carefree nature of bike riding. It dissolves any worries I have.

If it makes you feel any better, it is 43F right now.
I'm riding with a friend from Alaska and his son (from Denver) tomorrow, but we won't start until about 9:00 am.
