Just a "cruisin" along

One of the neat things about biking is the different moods you can get into while biking.

Sometimes I am Lance, defeating all the other bikers. Sometimes I am in "recovery" mode, just trying to get the energy back. Then again, at times I am the "explorer" - shall I try this new road or trail?

Today I was in "cruise" mode. Sort of like a big Buick going down the highway!

Beautiful day, temp was 58F, gusty winds from all directions about 10-15 mph. Gorgeous gold fall colors.

Started out with light windbreaker, which I removed after 5 miles. Definitely a "shirtsleeve" type of day.

So, I "cruised"!!

Between 15-20 mph, just moving along ever so nicely. After 20 miles, still felt as if I was just getting into the biking. Could have gone another 20 easily, but, alas, the duties of life called me home.

Anyway, it was a great stress reliever and a wonderful Saturday activity.

Thanks for listening.

Don't you just hate those pesky "omnidirectional" winds when you're just drifting along trying to enjoy life?

They are generally omnidirectional going up, and headwinds going down!! At least it seems that way
