First ride since August of this year. Prior to today, I had ridden dozen times in 2016. In spite of my best intentions, day-to-day obligations came first. The ride today reminded me why I ride. It's the pure unfettered joy of rolling up and down the hills with wind in my face. Pushing one meditative pedal stroke after another, I find myself on top of a hill enjoying a view of the surrounding area. Of course, the riding has the added benefit of keeping my fit. 

It was a slow ride easing back into the routine of things. The ride was fun, but not quite exhausting. With updated schedule, I can ride more! Time for Erick to join in.
