I live in the country and went out this morning at 9:45. I rode for 1/2 hour and only passed 3 cars. Ahhh...that is why I like where I live! However, the best thing I saw today, about 25 miles into the ride, was a newborn (and I mean newborn!) calf. I swear I must have missed its emergence into the world by moments. When I rode past, it was trying to stand (unsuccessfully) and the umbical cord was still hanging from the mom. There is nothing like witnessing new life to motivate me! It was precious.
