Hmmm....I can visualize the whole scene and the particular stretch of road that this meandering would be on. Open field to the right, spotted with cows. Forest on the left, maple, birch, bit of oak and some cedars. Fence in sad repair...new section put up last year. Over the top of a smallish hill, gearing up and taking off again. I would glance at the speedometer...45.

I wrote this a month ago, just goofing around, but I was missing my biking today as I have not been out...for about a month now. Today is perfect, warmish for the season, sunny, hardly a breeze...and I have to go driving into the city for some stuff. Life gets in the road...yet again.

I started the email with "I know, I get a little carried away when I go "all in" with anything, this is just my way ..." and eventually I ended up writing the above jotting..."all in" was not the topic or even really part of the plan, it just fell in place and seemed to fit.
