“Sunset Brompton” Cedar Park, 2023

Everyday I have to make a decision – do I go running or bicycling? This evening I chose the bike and enjoyed it quite a bit. One thing with exercising in the evening is that there are a lot of other people out walking and jogging so it’s fun to say hello as I ride past. On my mid-day runs, I hardly see anyone because people it’s so hot out, and many people are probably at work. Those runs are also nice though because I enjoy the solitude.

But the sunset rides are great opportunities for photos. I even captured a little cloud tonight. 😀

“Piplup at the Park” Cedar Park

I was feeling cooped up today, so I went for a long bike ride with Piplup. The temperature at noon was about 92 ° F, which isn’t too hot, but it was enough that the normally crowded hike & bike trail was almost empty. I stayed safe by bringing plenty of water and wearing a white long-sleeve sports shirt to protect myself from the sun. The breeze made for a super-pleasant ride!

“Piplup at the Mailbox” Cedar Park, 2023

We’ve been stuck in the house quarantining since Tuesday, but I wanted to ride my bicycle so I went with Piplup to go pick up the mail. It’s not very far at all, but my legs felt so weak! I’d say I’m about 75% back, which is not bad but I hope I can resume running soon!

“Rossa” Cedar Park, 2023

I’m selling Rossa, my Bianchi mountain bike. We’re trying to lessen the things we own and I think having three bicycle is too much. I can probably just keep Piplup, but I can’t bear to part with Sophie. However, Rossa is one that I don’t really ride often so I have put it up for sale. Hopefully she will find a good home!

World Bicycle Day

“Fishing RIde” Cedar Park, 2023

In celebration of World Bicycle Day I went with Piplup for a ride around the neighborhood, did a little fishing (didn’t catch anything), and returned a book to the library. The weather was perfect! The fresh air an pretty clouds were so uplifting.
