PLEASANT PARK RIDE

Keeping our actual moving speed between 13-14 mph, my wife and I circled inside the park until 20 miles was registered on our Garmin GPS’s and Cateye bike computers. Twenty miles was our morning goal.

One noticeable difference between today’s ride and all rides during the summer was the lack of soccer moms (and dads) toting their little angels to the park’s summer camps. How nice it was not to be threatened by shiny SUV’s with mothers and fathers driving and texting - a fine example for the little angels.

Absent, too, was the usual herd of miniature Raptor dinosaurs crossing our path whenever we chose to ride on the bike paths and not the main road. We did spot two of them, but they didn’t appear to be a threat to life or limb.

All in all, a pleasant ride in a park that provides utopian peace and quiet while the masses drive their two-ton steel motorcars to and from work.
