What a life - rideon (2)

OK, so I posted before I actually wrote my blog - it's a learning curve? So here goes post (2)

I left the house early so I could enjoy my ride into work. It is cool, in the mid 30's, but hey, it's Spring on Whidbey. My pedals are turning, chain is singing, all is well - what a feeling. Bob Dylan is singing in my ear buds, his voice older and even better - if that is possible? His newest CD "Modern Times" may be his best - with a little help from Robert Johnson. I take the shortcut off Silverlake Rd onto Crescent Harbor Rd looking out at the harbor - feeling the breeze on my face from all the cars flying by heading to who knows where - "don't you get it" I shout but know one hears me. I look to my left at acres of pasture, and watch the Spring calves romp while Moms rest , to my left I see Mt. Rainier smiling down on the harbor, a sheet of fog lifting towards the sun, I am in awe, it just does not get any better than this. Now for the challenge, with the music soaking my mind, I head up a long stretch that seems to go forever towards the heavens, actually only a small hill that ends at Regatta Dr, I am flying and have no burn, I take a quick right onto Torpedo Rd and than onto Regatta for the final stretch, up and down, hill and dale. I pull into the Library parking lot and off my bike. Dylan still musing in my ears, the sun is out, water calm on the harbor and work beckons. I could ride forever but must pause - another 7 hours and homeward bound - rockin 'n' ridin...what a great life!
