Just now back from a 2.5hour ride, starting just before dawn and finishing under cloudy skies and diffuse lighting. 67F. I had no particular plan other than ride and enjoy. At the end of the greenway, I stashed my helmet behind a downed tree and carried up the rocky trail, just to soak in the green and birdsong. Back on the road I picked routes counter to the incoming commuters. Everything went great and so far this year my body is saying yes to riding, which hasn't been true every year.

I really love this little section of road with the tree tunnel. I'm not crazy about whoever used the herbicide. I'd guess that's the power company tree and vegetation crew being over-diligent, since as you can see there are no actual power lines.
