Better yet, this was the first day on the "new" bike. Riding along Route 109 was incredible! The gears on the bike shifted so smoothly and the fit was spot on! I was cruising today. Cruising past the farmers mowing the tall green grass in the fields, past people unloading their boats onto the lake for a day of boating, past the amazing views of the mountains! I stopped for a water break at a large rock which was painted to look like a frog. When I went to put my bike against the rock, suddenly about 6 little chicks came scurrying out of the brush. They seemed to be trying to fly as their little wings would move a bit but they didn't seem to be catching any air. I felt like the jolly green giant who had just stumbled onto the air strip at the local flying school for little chicks. They too were very excited about the sunny day. Today I got 50 miles in and very, very happy it did not involve any squishing!
