Van Morrison + Bike ride = Bliss

RIDING

Happy Monday!

I forgot to tell you guys of my recent purchase. I've been looking to buy a bike for a while and finally found a great deal on Craigslist. It's a 2008 Specialized Crossroads Sport. It's a hybrid bike that is super fun and comfortable to ride. For $85 (STEAL!) the only thing I needed to replace were the tires. Thanks to my handsome handy man, I'm all set and ready to go.

Staying in on a beautiful Sunday afternoon is just sinful. I took advantage of the great weather we've been having by going on a what was suppose to be short bike ride yesterday. I had a 10 mile ride in mind but with the great music, peaceful scenery, and soothing weather I ended up going 19 miles! Basically to the end of the trail. Since getting back into shape it's really helped me appreciate the beauty that nature has to offer. Sadly I forgot my memory card in my laptop after the last post so I wasn't able to take pictures for y'all. Next time. Here are a few pictures of the plants from my ride the morning before, not quite as great as what I saw yesterday but still pretty amazing. Hope you guys are taking the time to reap in the beauty of the outdoors.
