The sun warming my face
The goofy grin that comes with simple pleasure
A strong tailwind for much of the ride, pushing me faster toward home
The smooth sound of tires running over wet pavement
The fierce headwind and smattering of rain as I neared home
A short break to consume the contents of a water bottle
Ominous storm clouds in the distance
Birds riding the air currents near the edges of the storm
A full rainbow from horizon to horizon as I finish my ride
