Feelin' good

It is 10:11 a.m. and we just got back home from a bike ride.  I only had one cup of coffee before we left, and I have a second cup to enjoy now.  The rest of the day is unplanned and before me.  I must confess I always dread going for a bike ride; however, when I'm actually on the trail I'm happy.  

I feel virtuous, free, and unencumbered at this very moment.  It won't last, but damn!  These simple moments are divine.

  1. I'm not a fan of bike riding either, I like to walk. Glad you had a good time.

  2. I miss being able to ride a bike. I do have a motorized scooter I use to get out and about for a bit. I agree it's nice to be out for a while.

  3. That azalea photo looks almost primeval. I expect a dinosaur to wander past!

    1. I thought so when I took it. I was in a National Park, I think. Maybe Shenadoah? Very moody.

  4. I don't ride my bike anymore as I am afraid of falling and my bike is very old (I got it in 1960) so the brakes aren't good enough. Good for you on getting out riding! That breeze feels good when you are pedaling!
