The Sunday Sunset Ride
Ahhh…there’s nothing like the solitude of a Sunday sunset ride.
The cool wind in your face and the setting sun at your back.
The whir of wheels and the rhythm of breath creating your own beautiful symphony.
There’s nothing quite like it.
Traffic is at a minimum as people are settling down for dinner and everyone is focused on what they didn’t get done over the weekend, rather than what they accomplished. Tomorrow marks the start of another week of slogging away at life just so we can pay the bills relative to our level of comfort.
Oooof. Fun stuff to ponder.
Which is why the Sunday ride is the Etch-a-Sketch for the brain’s myopic future-casting. Buried in the books today prepping for a chemistry exam, I was hesitant to take El Lobo out of the stable. Wouldn’t this time be better spent reviewing acid-base reactions?
Apparently not.
I did a quick-change and headed out the door with a smile on my face. “I’ll only go for 20 minutes.”
Forty-five minutes later, I pulled into the driveway wishing I would have enough daylight to go for another two hours.

Sounds like a beautiful ride. I’m looking out the window at torrential rain and guessing it will be the trainer for the foreseeable future here. Enjoy your fall days!
