On a lovely day, the perfect thing to do is to go outside. Especially when the air is crisp and dry and cool. The temp of 79 degrees is perfect for riding. I went bike riding today and I had a blast. I rode like I never rode before. Which is true, literally, because I haven't ridden a bike outdoors in maybe ten years. The only bike riding I have done is on a gym bike.
Being outside is different. The trees and the air and the sounds and the obsticals and challenges. The scenery of a bike trail takes it to a whole other level. I had the air in my lungs and the breeze in my face. It was exhilerating how my legs pedaled on and on with ferver just around another bend or up a hill. I went down hills with incedible speed and I went up hills with determination to reach the top. There is a freedom in riding on a bikeout doors.
It is the sense of being one with a moving world. I like being among nature and moving at my own pace. It reminded me of my days as a kid and yet better.
It is funny how easily you can pick up a bike after so many years and still remember how to do it, as if it were yesterday.
This sounds like such fun. I would also love to take up bike riding again. I can imagine the scenery and the cool air you felt. Sounds awesome :D
