70 Days left

Today I rode. No expectations. No goals. Just a ride. It was the most enjoyable ride this year. The ride across Indiana has been messing with my enjoyment. I decided yesterday that I may not do the ride across Indiana and that made the difference. So this is the way it is going to be…I may or may not do the ride across Indiana. If I do the ride I may or may not finish. I will do what I can. I had planned to build up to a 160 mile ride but I am not going to do that either. I got the bike to ride for enjoyment and if I become obsessive about it, it fails to serve the purpose for which I got it. I like to ride and sometimes stop and look at the birds or flowers. I like to ride slow and maybe sometimes a little faster. I probably don’t have many more rides left so I just want to enjoy them.
I rode about 12 miles today. I stopped and watched some birds at the wetlands south of town. I didn’t see any eagles today and really there were not many birds out. I guess I was later than I should have been. My watch stopped and it was later than I thought. I rode on down the road and tried to ride up Syndicate Hill. Made it about half way up and had to walk the rest. I rode on past Bella Lakes and stopped to see Terry Lewis. He is building a new house and he gave ma a tour. I left and traveled on seeing some birds along the way after that. Bluebird, Indigo bunting and some other song birds that I could not identify. I rode on up to Hazel Bluff road and across and on to 163 and across. I rode on to 63 and stopped. I got on to 63 (along the shoulder) and rode down to Pike Street. It was weird to have cars pass me going 60 MPH.
I enjoyed the ride.
