Let’s go

Here we go!

As I get bombarded from all sides with offers to save money; I can say that nothing saves me more money than just skipping all the sales and going for a walk, run or ride.  Today Hottie and I took the Kona for a walk on the beach. 

Summer, you are just a memory

Leaving summer behind and barreling into fall!

We squeezed all we could out of summer.  Then summer just kept going all though September and we squeezed some more.  

The air has gone from crisp to cold and instead of warm afternoons, there are fleeting moments of sunshine when you don't feel the bite of the colder days. 

The road ahead

I love starting a bike ride.

You swing your leg over and head out.  You have an idea of what the ride will be like.  Sometimes you are right, and other times it evolves into something else.  The ride takes on a character of its own.  You take it all in at the speed you choose.

I love being on a ride.

You are free to go or stop or go elsewhere.  If you have enough food and drink you can go almost forever.  Some hills are easier than you expected, others take it out of you.  

If something goes wrong, there is a satisfaction in being able to make a repair and continue. Now and again you find yourself in a different place than you had planned. The uncertainty of what is ahead always adds a little mystery.  

I love finishing a ride.

Approaching the end of the ride I relish the satisfaction of completing the ride.  Fulfilling the mission as it were.  The ride was somewhere between training and fun I find no need to divide the two. 

Wintertime is over

 

Green is fresh.  Other colors, not so much.

We aren't looking backwards.  The future is all that we can affect. Looking ahead.

Moving on

Whatever. Move on.

The story of my right eye didn't end the way i hoped and expected.  I thought I would share a story about how it took twenty months of patience to get my vision back.  Instead it took twenty months to end up with bad vision in my right eye.  Yeah it sucks; but it is what it is and I'm just not going to whine about it any more. I have one good eye and that is better than none.   HTFU!
