The Simple Things.............

[Tater]

I love the sound of a ratcheting freewheel.

I love watching the sunrise over the mountains.

I love having the knowledge to fix my own flats and not having to rely on anyone else to do it for me.

I love riding through western Idaho and smelling the onions, the mint and other things that would usually go un-noticed in a vehicle.

I get a kick out of the looks I get in the elevator going home after work. "You ride how far? I could never do that." If I had a dollar for everytime I have heard that, I wouldn't have to work anymore!

I love cycling through the seasons as well. Each has it's own unique feature.

I have to agree with Bicyclette, it is cool when one's SO brags about our accomplishments on two wheels.

This is really a wonderful topic

I love so many things about riding.....

I can't explain the immense joy I feel of riding on the open road. I spent 3 summers riding around in parking lots b/c I was petrified of traffic!

I love the breeze on my face.

I love "kicking it up a couple of notches" & feeling how strong my thighs are.

I love that my breathing is IMPROVING when going up hills !

I love being one with nature and enjoying all of God's glorious beauty.

I love riding through picturesque, scenic country roads & farms that have sheep, cows, llama's', horses, pigs, etc.... So much more enjoyable & breathtaking, than riding around in a car!

I love that I saw a beautiful honey colored deer the other day.

I LOVE riding with my husband and exploring new cycling adventures together . Being able to ride together is truly a gift.

I love that I don't mind the heat AT ALL anymore.... Everyone that knows me, knows that I used really, really despise the summer.
I love the summer now because it's one extra season that I'll be able to enjoy riding my bike .

I just love.....

Have a peaceful day everyone
