Making Order From Chaos
Pre-Ride Day, S. Burlington, VT
The Adventure Begins!
I thought every item was stowed for
Easy retrieval.
Not so.
Back to square one for organizing,
Creating some order out of chaos.
When I've ridden with niece Elizabeth,
First two evenings always include
Marching around motel room chanting,
"Order Will Appear, Order Will Appear,β
Eventually, it does!
Fun day here, meeting folks,
Attempting learning names.
Outing for mid-morning food, "best croissants in Burlington,β
An REI expedition, via car, with three women cyclists.
Chance to begin knowing others.
A positive test-ride on bike I'll use for trip.
Though different from my own MN bike,
This one & I will become efficient partners,
For next three weeks.
Good day.
Good omen.
Hugs,
Lin
