Normally, I wouldn’t dream of removing my shoes and socks mid-ride. Normally, I’d take on that hill no matter how painfully slow my fitness required. But there is nothing normal about today.
I have Saturday’s downfall (twisted ankle during a run) to thank for the foot and ankle pain I’m feeling today. It’s on my “good” side, which is probably a blessing but is depressing nonetheless.
Fortunately, I am able to manage the flats without a whole lot of complaint. So after peeling off my sock to check for bruising I changed directions and pushed hard on the flats instead.
I also had to some good company on today’s ride which was another thing to be thankful for. Although I think we were both disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy the beauty that seems to be prevalent in the hills and almost non-existant in the flats, it was still a good ride.
Nice scenery in the background. Good place for a break.
gotta love the color of sc res. btw, all things considered, it was a great ride!
a lot of people just go go go… I find it refreshing to stop once in a while and say “meh”…. let’s be different, if only for a bit :-)
I’ll admit it: I’m a little different. I do stop. I take pictures occasionally too. There’s a lot of beauty out there so, why not?
