Was reminded of many other good reasons today...
We did a longer ride today - 56 miles when all was said and done. It was a very nice day here for October 29th. Highs in the mid 60s, a bit windy, but otherwise gorgeous. Along the way we encountered hawks, an eagle, and a flock of Redwing Blackbirds and Grackles that strecthed for about 1/2 mile. It was quite a sight to see them take off and watch the flock swell and move as they'd switch direction. I've never seen a flock of birds this big.
We took one good break and a few quick roadside breaks and just enjoyed the day.
I can't think of a better reason to ride.
