riding through the days of August
met a woman and her daughter awhile ago on a ride into downtown LA. They are spending the weekend with me and we enjoyed a sunrise ride this morning. we rode south on the beach bike path to breakfast in manhattan beach. an easy ride, good conversation, lots of smiles and just an enjoyable time. we are now off on a ride to do some school clothes shopping.

why i ride
learning the real contours of back country roads
realizing that it's not always about getting somewhere, but rather the joy of randomness
having a curious young girl want to talk to me about bicycling
testing my potential
learning that pain is temporary
turning lifes friction into momentum
