 Short Ride Big Pay Off
Lots of pressures lately.

None to talk about.

Worries.

One of those "blue funk" days. Not a blue sky feeling day.

Usually not too much gets to me....feeling the weight...not knowing why.

The Giro is just sitting there. Been penned up since Sunday.

Early evening. Prettiest time of the day. Colors warming..softening...casting that glow light that photographers love and is so fleeting.

On the bike. Down the road. One stroke after another after another after another......

Suddenly I'm one with the bike...in the flow ..wheels whirring....cassette clicking...chain humming.......musical sounds to my ears...

I'm thinking of...........nothing

After a heavy day.... the bike ride leaves me light hearted.....

Should have called this ride the Alfred E. Neuman. What me worry?

Not now. Not after that.
