August 12th ride was with three riders. We went a little farther with a ride nearing 24 miles. Our average was 13.3 mph. The blue sky, mild temperature, and high barometric pressure combined to make everyone feel it was perfect riding weather. One of our stronger riders said, "the longer I ride, the better it feels." The thought that crossed my mind was to wonder how far one would have to ride to make it orgasmic. We usually ride slow enough to carry on conversations. It's great to be able to solve all the problems of the world with our discussions.
Found two pennies and a quarter. I will admit that I left one of the pennies on the ground. It was passed in a busy intersection with two riders right behind me. Another missed opportunity. I still feel that the coins are representative of opportunities or blessings. It is important to "pick up" on opportunities we encounter, and a blessing is always welcome. The three coins encountered made a nice addition to an already fine ride.
Nearing the end of our ride we passed a group going the opposite direction. Those riders maintain a consistently faster pace than ours and leave from the local bike shop each Tuesday. There were lots of riders in the group and it was great to recognize familiar faces and exchange waves.
