And miles to go before I sleep . . .

I rode 14 miles today, along the wash. It was peaceful and it was quiet. I will be working on walking that route. There is another route in town that goes by another wash. It is 22 miles. Maybe I'll walk that, too, some cool Saturday morning in October. I choose October for several reasons; it gives me enough time to train. It is my birthday month, and I like to do a physical challenge each year to prove (to myself) that my aging body is still capable of challenges. It will be cool then. October has always been my favorite month, with the leaves on the ground, the wind in my hair, the cool weather that lets me wear my favorite sweaters, and my birthday presents on the table. Riding this morning, before it got too hot, was nice. On the way home, a riding buddy joined me, and I told him about the charity walk I am doing. I believe my walking buddy is coming over this eventide. We will either survey our proposed route via bike and trike, or walk a portion of it.
