winterbadgerBeautiful day! This is what a summer day should be like, in my opinion.
Rupert and I had a lovely ride in the park along the Accotink Trail, from Prosperity to Rt 50, then back and down to Woodburn and back to Prosperity and then home in time to shower and meet A.(hopefully) at 5. Nearly 4.5 miles, and a bit on Rt 50 (service road!) just to have a bit of strenuous uphill and to be able to say I'd been on the road ;-) in just about half an hour. And, yes, my average speed is up a bit too.
I realise this is all very small beans to serious cyclists, but it's fun for me. I can really understand how the bicycle became the sportscar of late 19th century Europe, as Barbara Tuchman describes in The Proud Tower. It's so freeing and pleasant to zoom along quiet little lanes in the shade of green trees with birds singing all around.
And I finally set the clock on Rupert's computer, so it isn't four hours off :-)
OK, time to shower...
