October

Got out for a solo ride last night. Wanted to check a route for a group ride this coming Saturday. Rode a new-to-me trail that I can't believe I waited this long for. Beautiful evening. Been on and off the bike this year due to injuries and such so it was also good to just see what I may still have in the tank.

Beautiful night.
Ridgetop gloaming rolling down singletrack
Defeated sun ruddiness to my right
Pale triumphant moon to my left
Cabin windows winking through the trees
Turn the light off, expand the world
Night sounds crowd in, the last effort of insects before winter
Silver pools of moonlight on the road, my shadow glides through
Trail up, flip on the light, shrink my world to a pool of electricity
Stare down a deer, say hi, see Jr. poke his head up beside mom
Back to road, kill the electricity, open up the universe and climb home...
