Credit the 100% cloud coverage for making this morning’s casual bike ride so exceptional. Not having the sun blaring down on me was a tangible benefit, at least in my opinion. A dozen or so miles was my goal this morning and a dozen miles was what I achieved, mostly in our neighborhood’s county park. Speed was not essential nor was time a factor, and that’s good because I spent more time taking pictures than I did actually pedaling the heavy mountain bike. Noticeable during the entire bike ride, even though most of the ride was inside the gated park, was the constant sound of police car and ambulance sirens. True, our area’s hospital is located directly across the street from the park’s entrance, but there were markedly more sirens this morning than most mornings. One siren sound had to of been when some guy driving a Piece-of-crap rusted out car slammed into the rear of a relatively new SUV. Thinking that some of you might accuse me of not being politically correct, even a racist, I’ll not give a description of the two drivers and leave it at that.
