Warmer, Sunnier Skies

After having the temperatures drop below freezing here in South Carolina, now they are moving upwards to around sixty degrees this weekend. It is nice to feel it warming up again outside. Sometimes, when it is cold, I have to warm up for a long time before I ride. My joints will hurt otherwise from the cold. This just proves that a person determined to ride, will ride!

Whilst my dogs and cat huddle next to me at night, they sit out on the porch and absorb the sun by day. I have a little time to ride when I am not job hunting or doing errands. I take my bike along the roads in town and try to ride when there is very little traffic. The skies are beautiful.

Day and night are like two different worlds. The cold evenings can feel isolating and like a slower time. During the day, the birds are out and the plants are still pushing forth, and there is much more energy. It is a great time to get out and ride! I hope you will join me in spirit, reader, and will share your own tales of how wonderful it is to ride a bike!
