Tonight, I rode up the highest mountain in Alabama. There’s a Grand Fondo at Cheaha, and 26 miles of that course are on #Rouvy.

Somewhere between Calvi and Vignaccia, on Corsica, but also in my basement.

After a day of writing, a quick hour on a 20-mile ride through Switzerland was a great idea.

Was unaware you could use Zone 6 and Zone 5 as a recovery. It was a short route to round out a session, but still.

A dog and his sheep.
Shadow selfie. A shadow selfie during an accidental Strava PR.
The sun setting over a field plowed under for winter.
The moon and a line of clouds hanging over a line of trees.
Did you ride today?

OK, #bikesky, should I go ride this afternoon?
These are windspeeds and gusts.

The best roads are tree-lined on either side.
A sod farmer’s irrigation system.
Hay!
A tree burning brilliantly in the autumn sky.

Lauren trying hard NOT to drop me. A woman riding a bike in profile in her aero bars with the setting sun over her shoulder. Looking casual and fast.
A guy we passed riding the wrong side of the road on a little 29er. We saw him again as we came from the other direction. Then, at least, he was on the correct side of the road.
The sun setting behind Beaver Creek. There’s green lily pads and such growing in the foreground, but they are silhouetted by the sun slipping behind the tree line.
The last of the green stalks in the corn fields.

A guy is hunched over feeding his sheep. There’s a tree in the background.
An empty field that has been plowed for the end of the season.
The sun is hiding behind the bottom edge of a wall of clouds that fills the sky. It backlights the treeline in the distance.
The sun peaks through the clouds and bathed a field in a beautiful evening golden light.

Did you even ride today?
I snuck in an hour after classes this evening. I was told to go ride so I rode.

Yellowing plants in a farm field.
A barn (and silo!) by bike.

The moon above a distant tree line. It is offset by a few trees in the mid-ground. The cattle are in another pasture. The sky is a gradient of soft blues, pink and purple.
Some of the views on this evening’s ride. Some new roads, some old roads.

On this evening’s ride a guy came by, glanced my way, and just kept on going. I stayed on his wheel for about three miles at 25 miles per hour. This is faster than I can do for long.
I was so glad he turned left while I was going straight.

It was a *beautiful* evening for a recovery ride.
I didn’t need @evaholland.bsky.social to get me out there, but I’m always glad for the encouragement.

This earlier photo is for illustrative purposes. She might have been bending space-time today.
I was setting a substantial #Strava PR this evening when @laurensmith.bsky.social caught and dropped me. She went by so fast it was loud. Her tri bike sounded like a car. So fast I laughed.
No one here is talking about that.
They should.

This evening I found myself on a road I’ve been on only once before, two years ago. I forgot where it went until I got to this intersection.
I stood there for a few minutes, listening to the breeze, memorizing the crickets, feeling the sun.
This is why we ride.

I’m always torn on rides like this evening’s little 20-miler. Should I take more photos or keep my phone in my pocket and try to go faster?
Neither answer ever satisfies both ideas.
Oh well, guess I’ll just have to ride tomorrow and try to figure it out again.

The day was oddly broken up, but I did sneak in a 22-mile ride this evening.
Here are a few of the sites. Farm irrigation, corn, horses, and cattle. It’s a beautiful place to ride.

Did I ride slow because it was beautiful? Or was it beautiful because I was riding slow?
Two Strava PRs anyway.

An incredibly beautiful summer day for a 37-mile loop with @laurensmith.bsky.social and our neighbor.

Not sure what kind of weird tie down hook this is, but it’ll go in the stash of potentially useful #RoadsideFinds from this evening’s bike ride

Made some new friends on today’s bike ride.
They ran along with me for about 200 yards or so.
