It's been pretty rainy lately and more to come. TWC calls for impending rain today even a thunder boomer. But at noon the sky is bright enough if cloudy.
What to do? Grab a quickie.
No off-road trail rides as the ground is thoroughly sodden. I start by toodling along the MUP's. They are dry enough. The emerald green of foliage after a good rain and before more of the same is amazing.
I meander through old residential streets. These are streets and building from the 50's maybe some earlier. The sidewalks and curbs show their age but it isn't run down - merely gracefully aged. They show the wear of time. Genteel in a word.
I pass a school. It's pleasing to see a long bike rack with many bikes. The idea that some schools try to ban bikes is appalling.
Although I know the city very well I find new streets I've never ridden. Nothing special in them just paths not taken before.
A two hour ride. Lackadaisical but enjoyable none the less.

Using USENET in the finest way!
Thanks.
Your welcome. I also stopped to watch the Canada Geese. There are numerous mated pairs with broods of goslings. They are funny to watch. If make a move between the goslings and the water or just too close they freak out. They ululate their necks and hiss. Hissing must be some sort universal warning. Anyways watching the parents shepherd their broods around is a nice pause.
