My reading’s expanding my learning,
And ramped up my interest and yearning.
If that dream is true,
The thing I could do,
Is let “planning-wheels” start their turning.
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.

High-viz orange-red, SPF 50.

Grabbed my attention. Actually, whacked my sense of possibility.
