Ride a bike, share your experience and love. When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman

GMR Gate to Shack

Rico was on fire today

I knew Rico was going to kick my ass today. I got the notion when I saw him on Wednesday's Bud's ride and he went long as we made our loops around the park. On Bud's he looked strong. I went right on Raging Waters Dr. expecting him to do the same and, NOPE, Rico continued up and over to San Dimas Ave.

I met Rico at his house today and we headed to GMR. I struggled to keep his pace and that first climb up to the gate on GMR was hard. Rico kept the pace lively and eventually I had to back off. When I got to the top of Monroe I asked him how long he was waiting. He said 45 minutes then laughed. Jerk!
