there was a moment of magic

during our bike ride today. We just passed through an intersection W brought up the rear and I before her the other two were up ahead climbing the hill. I heard W ring out "I have a flat". No actually I was bringing up the rear. Either way we were lucky in several respects.

One, shade and an overpass out of the sun. Second: A guy came along (on the organized ride) and had a pump. Third: She had two spares. The first had a hole in it by the time she was trying to pump up the second along came an organizor sag wagon. I mean we were thinking about walking to w's house about a mile away when up pulls the sag wagon guy.

W suggested two of us go and ahead to the designed restaurant we had chosen to eat our
lunch. She and I got there and within minutes I hear W call out my name.

We had a great lunch. The temperature was nearing 90 degrees and the wind was picking up promising gusts up to 30 MPH as the atmosphere heated from the afternoon sun.

It's now almost ten and it's still breezy. the forecast calls for isolated thunder storms this evening and tomorrow.

I truly enjoyed the ride today with my friends. I hope I was good company. Seems I always analyze my ego behavior afterwards. Hope I was pleasant enough after J and I split off and headed back to my car and we got lost. Seems when we hit the trail we should have gone opposite of the arrows not with them. My bad! I should have known better.

When we realized our mistake that we were heading north west instead of south east I got out my iPhone and googled for directions. That helped. It was a confusing time there for awhile. Seems she and I tacked on another eight miles to correct our mistake. She needed to be somewhere and I was just plain getting tired. It was nearing four and we had been riding since 8:30 in the morning.

Hm. Well, i just inadvertly erased a whole few paragraphs and I am too tired to try to retype what I think I just wrote. So for get it. I thank the universe for my many wonderful blessings. I hope I didn't come close to blowing my limit. I know I got slightly reckless out there at times after I took some power jell with caffiene in it. I am so grateful for my protection and youthfulness and abilities to do what I am able to do. Thank you for keeping me safe and healthy. I truly appreciate it! Thanks for my friends too, in case they forget to thank you.
