Ann was a very good sport this afternoon about going over to the bike path to sit and read again while I took the bike out for a spin... so unlike yesterday, when I stopped to take plenty of pictures, today I mostly concentrated on riding and kept up a pretty darn good pace (for me, at least) similar to what I expect to do during Sunday's du at Presque Isle State Park in PA.
Of course, that doesn't mean I was totally oblivious to my surroundings... on my way back to the park the second time I was treated to a nice view of a heron surrounded by ducks, lit by the orange glow of the setting sun, and when I rode back out toward the Niska-Isle bridge to get my mileage over 15 miles I discovered that one of the eagles was perched in their typical spot out on the river...
It felt good to get my legs moving at a pace faster than a walk again... they're tired but that's a good feeling too.
