I’m viewing the wonder of new sights,
Flowers, and ocean, and mountain heights.
Magnificent—true!
Still, visits with you
Are brightest for me, beyond city lights.
Life can get heavy and serious.
Mindset can be deleterious.
Have fun and go play,
To brighten your way.
Remedy clear! Not mysterious.
Have you had a time of “help-needing?”
When you thought you soon would be pleading,
For someone to do
A big job for you?
But help came! Your worry receding.
With things feeling heavy & funky.
An outlook that’s all dark & gunky.
A giggle or two,
Will help you renew,
A viewpoint that’s lighter & spunky.
I rode all 60.5 miles today.
At times today, I thought
Best thing about the day would be
Getting to end point.
Recommitting was required, over and over.
I went to the Zoom-time assuming
No personal tie, since we’re Zooming.
Yet to my surprise,
There’s warmth in folk’s eyes.
Participants look like they’re blooming.
Rest Day?
Not exactly.
Experience, informative, interesting day?
Absolutely.
Sometimes “the easy way” is NOT a cop-out!
Forecast of heavy rain,
Route with extremely steep hills—
Struggle up, rollercoaster down.
Decision was to shuttle all directly to Auburn.
What richness are connections bringing you?
Cazenovia, N.Y. is growing-up home of
Good Friend, Elizabeth;
Many years librarian colleague of Bob’s.
Her roots go back six generations here.
With that in mind, I sought out The Century House.
What is fun down time for you?
I’ve had two long hill walks.
(Lest we get out of shape on rest day)
Neither involving bicycle.
From & to our hilltop motel,
To Nyack main street,
Mid-morning wander.
A Rail Trail is wonderful!
Harlem Valley Rail Trail—
Early in today’s ride.
Twenty-four miles of flat, calm riding.
THE BEST!
Remaining miles into lunch stop
Had moderate hills.
The kind that seem worth
Pedaling up, for coasting down.
Seven weeks from June 13 until start of Empire State Ride.
Does it fit to be a
Biking web post?
Gratitude?
