I have spent the past month wanting a bike and have been doing research, going to stores, etc. Last week, I finally found the bike right for me, and was able to bring it home last Wednesday. It's so beautiful... it's light green! Well that was about the same time I began to get sick as well. So while being sick, I would just look at my bike, touch it, and really really really wish that I could take it out for a ride. Especially since we are finally having really nice spring weather. This morning, I finally woke up not feeling like I want to die, and decided that this is a good reason to go on a bike ride. I didn't go for a long one, because I didn't want to over do it. Also as I was bike riding I realized that my strength really isn't what it use to be and maybe I'm not completely better yet.
I live in such a beautiful area. The mountains are pretty much in my backyard. So I rode up the Canyon a little bit. The trails are gorgeous!!!! at this time of the year. I took some pictures of my ride, and put it to a song that was stuck in my head during the ride. I think the pictures would have had a better effect if I used something from Debussy, or Ravel, but I thought it would be better to have everyone experience what I was thinking at the time :-).... oh, I added additional pictures to make it match the timing of the song, and to enhance the song's lyric meaning even more.
