Tales from the bike seat - GCC ride days 9 & 10

2-FER!

I've been taking it easy and not riding too hard or too far...so far, so good (although I can tell the knees and I aren't on the same terms we used to be. Distinctive "It's not you, it's me..." kinda thing going on)

It's getting darker earlier every day now, thank you Autumnal Equinox. Doing my best to get back before it's too dark, but there's still bad moons rising. Good thing I have lights!

Once I overcome the mental block to get out and get on the bike, it is (mostly, can be) a relaxed, rewarding experience. From the gaggle of geese flying overhead, to the rafter/flock/posse of turkeys, to the buck that ran in front of me and paused on a hilltop in the last rays of sunlight, it helps to keep things in perspective. Yes, I tried to get a picture. Twice! Guess he was a little shy.

I passed the half-way mark in miles tonight - not great, but I have a plan! MOST IMPORTANTLY - I've exceeded my fundraising goals, thanks to all of you!!! Give yourselves a hand, you came through again this year, and I can't thank you enough!

Here's the graph plus some scenery.
