Out for a little ride

Last night I went out for a bike ride through the neighborhood, partly to celebrate finally fixing my bike and partly because it was too damn nice to not be doing something athletic outside. It was a decent ride, about an hour or so. I'm not actually much of a biker, but I've had a nice mountain bike for a few years and sometimes I can't think of any other ways to stay active, so I take the bike out.














Sometimes I wish I had a road bike so it'd be easier to ride to the store or something, but yesterday I was glad I had the mountain bike. I rode around some of the streets for a bit then decided to go play on the gravel walking trails that wind through the woods that my development mostly cleared out for its existence. I got to see the brook that some of the streets claim to be next to (none of them really are) and there was some cool trees and rocks along the way too.














I finally had to pack it up though because I'd be riding in the heat with my pack on to carry my camera and I was drenched in sweat and awfully hungry. But that made it easy to commit myself to devoting most of the rest of this weekend to food.
