This morning’s club bike ride included zillions of stop signs, traffic-signals, curves, cul-di-sacs, even a couple of U-Turns. The ride also was inundated with numerous pre-holiday shoppers, church goers and nomadic locals, all sitting behind the wheel of their air-conditioned cocoons rushing to and fro seemingly without a care in the world. Thankfully, they all noticed us in our brightly colored biking jerseys.
We even rode our two wheelers through a marsh area that acts as a buffer between a large golf course and a neighborhood that was comprised mostly of manicured, single-family homes. And let’s not leave out a couple miles of sidewalks and asphalt pathways, and two Publix Market parking lots. Yes, we took two breaks, one short and one shorter.
All in all, however, it was a very enjoyable ride. Extremely nice folks (5 cyclists and myself) to ride with!
The overall pace was not too fast and not too slow, it was just right, exactly how the three bears would have preferred it.
And who are we to dispute bears?
