All riding in the van is quite rare,
It gives opportunity to share,
Our stories we tell,
And get to know well,

And pedal the length

If couch-time is what you hear calling,
Think what you can find,
To spark up your mind.

Major focus these days.
Satisfaction of daily gain,
Makes hard work okay for now.

Disappointment was my take—
Not getting to meet on Root River Trail,
For bike ride with son & young boys,
Plus, picnic in a park.
Seemed like loss.
Ten weeks from May 30 until start date.
Along a bike trail,
I saw sign on small cafe —
“Friday is Pie Day”.
