Monday Musings

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 donโ€™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.

  7. We are looking forward to the tour as well, especially as this will be the last year that we get free terrestrial TV coverage. I am glad that you were able to get out for a ride. We have those same gale force winds here too. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Iโ€™m hoping for another bike ride this weekend, it was a wonderful morning. A few years ago they moved the Tour de France from tv to a streaming app, but Iโ€™ve told my mother not to worry that no matter where itโ€™s showing weโ€™ll be able to watch itโ€ฆsheโ€™s never as thrilled as me.๐Ÿ˜

      1. I hope that it doesn’t turn out to be a procession led by Pog. We want a bit of drama if possible.
