I rode for about an hour only- I feel a little puny, I think I'm fighting off a cold. I only fell once crossing a rather huge field of construction in the fading light, so after that I stuck to the road like a smart chick.
When I got back to my neighborhood I made a point of sprinting around my gated community four times, which is a mile. I thought I would peter out but I actually did the whole thing balls out the whole way.
A dream is starting to develop in my mind's eye where I am biking under the glistening stars across the desert in the half light of a partial moon, the desert air full of the smell of sage and the sound of coyotes yipping me on. I see me getting off my bike and starting a fire, eating out of a can and sleeping until dawn. With you, my friend. With you.
