With the promise of temps reaching 60° and feeling fresh after yesterday’s ride, I knew while sipping the last drop of coffee that today would be a ride day. Ride days really don’t need reasons but finding one is satisfying. The more off the wall the reason, the better so today I picked my old standby “doctor’s orders.”
The ride up into Hawley was relaxing as I turned the pedals up the long steady climb. My thoughts of sitting by the cemetery and eating a snack in the warm sun were as peaceful as I had imagined.
