sometimes entertaining, ... the ramblings of older folks. Shame no gals are regulars here, or so I think.
Loving wool jersey weather.
Fall can be sooooo nice. Except the return to grass mowing season, following Summer's drought.
Lately, I've been riding more frequently (thanks to great cycling weather), taking fewer pictures along the same 'ol routes, posting a bit less - and trying to post only with a positive comment. Humor, or attempts at humor, seem to be a mistake on the social(?) side of WWWdot.
And in the interest of less 'screen time' - it is Noon and almost 60* and dry - so, ... let's ride. Bye.
Be well all.
True, all that.
Now having accumulated some pages of life history, it's very natural to find reflection, often.
The 'passing' of things, ways, how it all was and ran. The two edged sword of 'memory', as we remember (imaginery or real) it.
Things appreciated and now no longer available. Things we hadn't appreciated until they are gone...
Old bikes we rode... Our younger experiences and friends...
Being honest, it wasn;t all great, it was very much a mix , as is today.
Our new machines are just as lovely, maybe even more so (depending on how you view beauty).
But yes, a big plus would be to have a stronger feminine apparent presence here in BF and in 50+. A broader window on our Cycling World is always a plus.
As much as we might try, the male pH of how topics are discussed is inevitable, without active female participation. In nature its very rare to find a 'herd' where males predominate - most all herds have a a larger contingent of female.
...or maybe they just don;t care to mix with us ?
That seems to work...
So hopefully we hold onto the 'good' and stay open to the 'new'.
It is Saturday, and we have a meeting group of older riders/racers who meet late morning, after doing our riding of choice. Then we 'discuss', re-bond', and re-ground.
so it's time to
Ride On
