Most of you know that I'm a legitimate bicycle geek. I joke with my friends by saying my favorite person to ride with is myself. While I do enjoy solitary rides, it is still nice to have the option to call up a friend to go riding with. Unfortunately I don't have that option right now.
This picture on the left was one I took last Saturday morning while on a long country "gravel" ride. I put fat some fatter tires on my bike to make the roads vibration a little more comfortably, and head off into the country to ride roads "less traveled".
Sometimes I get up pretty early, while it's still dark, and set off down the road with my bike lights on while it's still peaceful and quiet out. Yeah, it's hard to get up early, but there is also a sense of adventure to it. Another perk is that you get to see the sunrise.
On this particular day I my route was 65 miles long. My longest of the year. Buy what was most impressive to me was that I didn't have a single car pass me (in either direction) for the first 58 miles! Apparently people were taking the "Stay Home" rules quite seriously that morning. But no complaints here. It just made the morning that much more peaceful.
