Just a great day.



I was wishing the sun would not set and I didn't have to end the ride.
Frank.

I feel the same way on a warm summer day riding down the the beach and just doing a slow crawl while people watching. It seems like the day goes on forever, but then I have to make the 8 mile trek back home. That's the worst part of the ride.

I had a nice ride Sunday even though it was about 29F. Raods were clean, but they began putting down salt in anticipation of the snow we are having. I don't ride in salty slush.

It's so hard to explain these days to people who don't ride. All they seem to know from cycling is the sore ass part.

It is a high that happens almost every time I go for a ride! Years ago I would need rolling papers and some good weed , but now just a sweet ride down the path with one of my classic bikes does the trick! Oh, and some water and granola bar! Joe

Plus one.
I then tell them that is why God created recumbent bicycles. I’ve never had a sore backside when I ride a recumbent. :}
