Springtime - I got back to my old friend "The Road."
I feel like I got older this winter.
It took me a half hour longer to get to 2,000.
I couldn't descent in a straight shot either. Had to stop a couple of times to shake out my neck, shoulders and hands.
But hey, not to worry it is the first of the season or the first I been there in a while anyway.
Digging through my records, I am weird about record keeping. For March I am off about 5,000 from March of the previous two years.
I am still sore. That has me thinking about restrategizing my ambitions.

I seen a guy I ain't seen all winter. I park kind of near the bottom of his driveway.
He's a cranky old guy that I didn't like right off. But these days there is kind of a weird spiritual uptick when you see someone that is a good bit older than you back out in the Spring. He told me that he done a cruise to Greece and a river cruise up the Nile since I seen him last. Heh, my budget has bike riding in it.

That's alright.

I seen some bear sign on one of my side excursions. Bears can't really be up this early or up and stay up anyway. They can maybe turn over a rock or two, look for some grubs, then go back to bed. I hope they don't wake up hungry for bike riders.

Buddy is coming over tomorrow. I wish I could record his laughter and his antics and play it for people who get stressed out and depressed. There ain't no depression around that little guy. My funny little boy.
