Happy Sunday!  ~  208

Some unrelated ramblings this morning.  I had the best day (health wise) yesterday in recent memory and for the first time that I can remember slept through the night without waking up once. 🙂

The above image was taken with my little point and shoot camera that I carry on the bike.  I did a 23 mile ride yesterday but it was a difficult ride as I chose a route that had some major hills.  This is my favorite place to stop (it’s halfway through the ride) for a little energy snack and a 5 minute respite.

Couldn’t resist an image of my bike.  I’ve had a bunch of bikes in my lifetime.  This is the least expensive bike I’ve owned, yet it is the best bike I’ve ever had period.  It’s called a fitness bike and is a cross between a road bike (really skinny tires) and a hybrid.   On level ground in 27th gear I can get 22 mph, downhills usually top out at 30 mph and lately I’ve averaged 11.7 mph, which in my present condition isn’t bad.  On my road bike I generally averaged 14.8 mph.  Yesterday (because of the hills) I only averaged 10.1 mph.  I was also passed by one woman and three men (on road bikes) like I was standing still.

All four of them blew by me and only one said “hi”,  I always give the person I’m passing (when I actually pass someone) notice, “passing on your left” for both of our protection.

Finally I couldn’t leave without showing you at least one bird image.  I missed the last two days on my bird feeder project and was able to shoot some birds yesterday afternoon.

Jeanne and I plan to go on a photo run this afternoon and hopefully we’ll find some things of interest to photograph.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
