CIMPLE – A Curious Introvert's Musings & Photos about Life and Enjoyment

The weather finally cooperated enough for a great Sunday morning bike ride. The paths were empty and for a moment a dragonfly was flying next to me setting the pace. There were signs of summer

everywhere with trampolines and volleyball nets in yards, beautiful flowers along the path, classic convertible cars cruising and

a perfectly timed artistic surprise forcing a rest.

I felt much stronger on this bike ride except for one uphill pedal against gale force winds (6mph) that made me feel like I was in a mountain stage of the Tour de France. I don’t usually listen to music on my AirPods while biking, but I was listening to Van Morrison in order to get some good European vibes going as I await the late start of the Tour de France. I celebrated the bike ride with a wonderful cup of coffee after I arrived home

and believe I will be ready for another bike ride by the time one of my favorite sporting events, the Tour de France, begins on July 5th.
