Yesterday I was finally able to ride the 30 mile loop I’ve taken for years. I finished it 2mph slower than I typically do and there was lots of huffing and puffing. The upside was that I was able to do it and the sun was out for the full ride! No clouds or rain showers.
Last week when I drove by portions of the road that comprise the loop, I remember feeling sad, that I hadn’t been able to get out with other cyclists I could see on the roadway. After the ride yesterday, I felt I was finally was able to see my old friend wearing the splendor of spring in the green grass, deer, hawks and crisp air. It was wonderful to be out on the bike in my old stomping grounds!
