Heart racing in anticipation. My breath…quick…eyes keen like a peregrine falcon.
But that damn tail…it gives me away every time. You know. The tail…the one that wags the dog. The thing that is chased when you get the leash. Yeah right.
It’s time right?! We get to go! Let me loose! I’VE GOT TO RUN!!
This is how I feel when I see my bike. How do you describe that lifelong feeling of freedom, of strength and exploration? Not one ride, NOT ONE, has ever disappointed me. There has always been and I believe, always will be, something magical to discover ON EVERY RIDE.
You’ve gotta laugh…especially my health care/medical friends. While riding in Palm Desert (PD,) the signs and traffic cones are marked COPD. Chronic Occlusive Pulmonary Disease. With the older population, it all makes sense. Right? Too funny!
So take a break from life, responsibilities, stuff…all of it. As Cole would say “click out”. Come with us on today’s ride. It wasn’t hard or long. We meandered through neighborhoods in a very sustainable pace (moseying mode) drinking in the beauty all around us. Temps were in the high 90’s.
I am reminded what a miracle it was to make it across the USA in 2023.
Yes. I am a three-year-old when riding, wanting to take pictures of flowers, bugs and anything else that catches my fancy!
And as a result, I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH!
Enjoy friends!
