Double the Fun

Working with children has it's downside: It's mentally and physically exhausting. So, it's cut into my number of cycling days dramatically. I did go out Wednesday, though. For ice cream and bubbles, of course! It was the same ride I tried to take years ago with my father, on my mountain bike. I remember being tired before I even got to the top of the road. After ice cream and on the way back, I was a whine-radio-station, angry, and exhausted. Needless to say, it was much, much easier now.

Last night, I fell asleep around 10pm. Thanks to that, I was up at 8, before my father left the house for his ride. So, today I attempted the long loop for the second time. We went around the trip the opposite way, making the HUGE downhill I enjoyed so much last time an intense, long, steep uphill. I had things to distract me from my exertion, though. Items on the side of the road: A lemon, roadkill turtle (I didn't know a turtle could get that flat...), eating pigeons, and a sneaker. Later in the ride there was also a young boy and his mother crossing the road. We stopped for them, and the young boy offered me a golf ball. I said no, but thank you, and continued to ride. He ran after me. Falling quickly behind my father, I continued to ride, and heard the mother calling for the boy. There were no intersections around, so he was safe and sound. So all in all, the ride went very well. Now it's rest time!
