august bicycle overnight tour

morning, leaving camp

We got lucky and got our overnight bicycle trip in before the impressive thunder and lightening storm passed our island. Last year, we weren't so lucky and rode the whole way back in the rain. That's o.k. I'm always happiest when we're on a bike tour.

What I like most about riding is how my mind clears, especially, on the long rides. Knowing I need to ride 35 miles or more to my destination, leaves me thinking more about just pedaling. All my worries slough off with each mile.

I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan.
