This was from my Memorial Day ride. Such a beautiful morning it was. The temperature was in the mid-60's, with a light breeze ringing a ship's bell somewhere off in the distance.
I love marinas in the morning, seeing people preparing for a day out at sea. Sometimes I simply enjoy hearing the irregular rhythm of the boats bobbing in the water, tapping against the docks. After I took this photograph, I took my bike back out to the road, began pedaling again, and thought: this is a good morning.
On another topic ... I just added some blogs I like to my sidebar. What fun! The first is "Up in Alaska":

I'm so glad I came across this blog. Wonderful photos, so nicely written, and sincere. I'm still exploring it, but my favorite post so far is "First Day of Spring" (http://arcticglass.blogspot.com/2008/03/first-day-of-spring.html). Those photos of Alaska are incredible.
The next is "Pat's Bike Blog":

I love bike touring logs, and this one is great. The tour itself is completed, so you've got the whole trip there for you to enjoy. I really like the early entry where he photographs his fully-loaded bike. He also has some interesting posts about Underground Railroad history.
And then "Cyclin' Missy":

It's a cyclist's journey toward riding her first century (a 100 mile biking event). Even though a century is out of my league at the moment, I can still relate to much of what she describes, especially her passion for riding. She writes so easily and honestly. Great blog!
Hey! Thanks for the mention and for checking out my blog. I've been reading back into yours and I can see why we relate on many levels. I love hearing about people's experiences biking in other parts of the country, too. I think you're the first blog I'll be following in New England.
ReplyDeleteI also plan to check out the other blogs that you mentioned in your post.
Have a good one!
